The administration’s proposal includes a multiyear path to citizenship for Dreamers, an end to the Diversity Visa lottery, a reduction in family-based migration, an increase in merit-based visas, and funding for additional barricades along the Mexican border.
None of those provisions come out of the blue. All of them were included in a bipartisan immigration bill that passed the Senate in 2013, with support from Schumer and Durbin, before dying in the House.
The Democrats don’t sound like a party that wants to tackle immigration. They sound like they’re looking for an issue to run on in the November midterm elections.
For a taste of what’s coming, Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic leader in the House, called the White House immigration proposal an effort “to make America white again.”
What color does Pelosi prefer?
