During their weekly lunch meeting on Wednesday, Senate Democrats provided some entertainment in the form of a slideshow that proposed that $105 billion of the mammoth $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill would go towards what amounts to an amnesty plan for illegal immigrants.
The proposal is currently going through a process called the "Byrd bath." Named after the late Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, the Byrd bath process describes the deletion of provisions that have been dropped from the bill as the Senate Parliamentarian goes through various provisions in the bill per the Byrd rule.
He started out by saying that Senate Democrats feel that immigration is "Critical" in the reconciliation bill for three reasons.
The bill would bring $10 into the U.S. economy for every dollar that would be spent on immigrants becoming eligible for federal programs.
Recently, Manchin said that Democrats should, "Hit the pause button," and Sinema's office said that she would oppose the bill because of the price tag.
The reconciliation bill is also facing a battle in the House.
The reconciliation bill reads like a liberal Democrat wish list of things that would make the federal government a facet of every day life for virtually every American.
