What happened to immigration reform?

Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.

Many people are asking me this question. All started very well and we have heard of the reformbut we haven't heard much about it. 

What are the pending proposals in Congress?

There are three proposals which are still pending in Congress:

The first is the immigration reform of President Joe Biden, which was officially presented. The second, is the proposal for the dreamers, which includes the tepesians and es a path to citizenship. Finally, the proposal for agricultural workers is also pending. 

The last two The House of Representatives has already approved the bill, and now it is up to the Senate to take a decision. decision. However, allBoth media outlets, or the vast majority of them, are reporting that, now with the crisis at the border, they are probably not going to pass in the Senate.

That is to say, it's not being said by immigrant advocates or lawyers, it's being said by nothing but the media. That is what they are reporting, that is unlikely to be approved. Therefore so much, Democrats are developing a new new strategyand they are already trying to implement it.

Budget reconciliation

If they can get the immigration bill through as part of the budget reconciliation, they would no longer need the ten Republican votes in the Senate. With a simple majority in the Senate, they could pass immigration reform for millions of people.

The detail is to be able to designate it as part of that budget reconciliation. And, as Kamala Harris, the vice president breaks the tie, she is the 51st vote. In this way, they could achieve the comprehensive immigration reform that President Joe McCain is putting forward. Biden. 

Is it necessary to wait for immigration reform to be resolved?

Although this new strategy is not guaranteed, they are seeing if they can move the pieces, like a game of chess. The reality is that President Joe Biden already made many changes: changes in the immigration court, at the border, in the asylumin the public charge, with detainees, and many more.

That means that you can already resolve your case with many of the changes that have already happened, without having to wait for an immigration reform that is still uncertain. This new strategy does not guarantee anything to anyone, so let's take advantage of the changes that are in place. And as the saying goes "a bird in the hand is better than 100 in the air".

We cannot wait for something uncertain to happen in the future. Let's be very concrete and practical. Talk to your lawyer, see how you can take advantage of what's out there. and if you can get your papers now. There is a big difference between getting your papers out now, and getting them out in the future. And that is the mistake that many people make, they think that in the future they will fix their situations, and yet years go by and they never solved it.
