Hey friends. If you're interested in hearing the latest news about the reconciliation process and
immigration, watch this video and this one, I'm going to take you into what's happening
now. Right? The last time we met, or the last time I did a video, I informed you that a Senator has
come out publicly, stayed in the Senate. Democrat came out publicly stating that he will not support
the 3.5 trillion reconciliation plan that is on the table right now, uh, before the us Senate and
on the house side. So, um, what does it, what happens since then? Right? Because things are
developing each day here in the U S around this issue. So we're going to dive into the latest and
what's going to happen over the next day and, uh, actually all over the next few days. So
watch this video all the way until the end. For those of you who are new to me, welcome,
I'm Latoya, McBean Pompey and immigration lawyer in New York, working with clients all over the
us and in many different countries, contact us at McBean law so that we can look at your case
and see how we might be able to help you visit me also. Um, or I should say, follow me also
on Instagram at McBean immigration law, where I do more videos, short videos on different
immigration topics. All right. So let's jump into it. So Senator mansion, Senator mansion,
um, said last week that he does not support that large 3.5 trillion reconciliation package
at that size, he's looking at something a lot smaller support in something smaller and another
Senator, uh, out of Arizona, Senate Democrat also said something very similar that it's, it's just
too big. She won't support it in this way. Now the Senate need all Senate Democrats to support
reconciliation in order for this to happen. So what's going on lately? Well, first of all,
friends, um, and let me take you into this first of all, act, um, let's see, let's go here.
Actually. Axios is reporting that, um, Senator mansion is now saying, well, maybe I'll back
reconciliation. I will back it, but it has to be at 1 trillion. It has to be at the $1 trillion
level. And so does discussions are obviously happening behind the scenes. Negotiations are
taking place with respect to the debt, the size of this package, but apparently he is privately
telling the white house and congressional leaders that he will support 1 trillion. And
so what does this mean for the immigration line item that's in there, which is 107
billion for immigration programs, programs, again, that would provide a lawful permanent
status to qualified immigrants. What does it mean for them right now? We don't really know.
We don't know what it for that line item. If that line item will take a little cut or
whether it's going to stay at the hundred and 7 billion, but for now it looks like,
um, mansion is willing to negotiate and bring that number down to 1.5. Uh, well,
one, 1 trillion, um, and, uh, according to Axios, uh, at most he's open to support in 1.5 trillion
sources, familiar with the discussions say, and then it, the article also say 1 million. So we'll
see how this shakes out, obviously, right? How will this shake out over the next several days
and weeks is, uh, something that we're going to be watching very closely by the way, uh, next,
uh, over the next week or two, we're going to have big things happen in with immigration because by
September 15th, remember that is the big deadline that we're looking at here by September 15th, the
legislature will need to, um, the Senate judiciary committee will need to put out the immigration
legislation that we're also eagerly awaiting. Now, what else is going on?
Well, what's, what else is going on is political. And let me cut out this ad here. Political is
reporting that tomorrow, actually tomorrow, Friday, September 10th, there's going to be
a meeting with the Senate parliamentarian to talk about the immigration reform that's
in the reconciliation plan Dems, uh, to make the case for immigration reform in 3.5 trillion
spending bill and the parliamentarian will be hearing arguments, uh, from Democrats on
Friday about why this should be included in the reconciliation package. So this, um, this meeting
is, um, you know, if anything comes out of this meeting, certainly I'll, I'll be able
to report out to you on what what's going on there, but we're not expecting the parliamentarian
to make any particular decision tomorrow. Um, you know, the legislation and other things need to
other steps need to happen. Uh, before we get a decision from the parliamentarian about the
reconciliation bill, uh, according to this political article, um, it,
again, it says the Senate judiciary committee is taking the lead on crafting the legislation,
the immigration provisions of the bill, but it's far from certain that the Senate parliamentarian
would rule in favor of including them. And we've talked about this before. We've
talked about the fact that her, um, her input is going to be key here. And we know that well,
yeah, it's possible for maybe her input to be overrule or something like that, but in terms of
precedent for that happen, and we really don't have any right that I'm aware of, okay. That I'm
aware of. And the political article go on, goes on to remind us that the parliamentarian ruled
against democratic priorities. Before earlier this year, she rejected the party's proposal
to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour in the, uh, 1.9 trillion pandemic relief bill.
So, um, so that's, what's, what's, what's happened in there tomorrow. I should say, that's, what's
going to happen tomorrow. So we're going to watch for that. And then lastly, what's going on from
the white house, right? What is the white house saying with respect to, um, these issues?
Well, yesterday, September 8th, president Biden, uh, had a press conference. And
during that press conference, he said, I want us to finally finally provide
dreamers, TPS, recipient, farmworkers, essential workers, a pathway to citizenship. So here we have
the president weigh in, in on the fact that those are the groups of people that he wants to see
reconciliation help. Now there are speculation about, well, what's in the legislation,
right? There is some speculation guys. I see the speculation on Twitter, uh, about some of the
reforms that are maybe part of the reconciliation package. I'm not speaking about any record, um, of
the speculation at this point, I'm waiting patiently to see the actual legislation to see
what is, or is not included in it. So stay very close, uh, stay in, stay in tuned. I should say
