Omar calls on Schumer, White House to 'ignore' Senate parliamentarian on path to citizenship
Fox News
The Senate parliamentarian determined that lawmakers cannot include a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens in a budget reconciliation package, but Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is pushing the Senate and the Biden administration to do it anyway.
"This ruling by the parliamentarian, is only a recommendation. @SenSchumer and the @WhiteHouse can and should ignore it," Omar said. "We can’t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to do the right thing."
MacDonough said the provision was "a policy change that substantially outweighs the budgetary impact of that change," as it would change the immigration status of 8 million people. She also said it would raise the deficit by an estimated $140 billion over 10 years.
