A coalition of immigrant advocacy groups on Friday released a memo outlining the steps for congressional Democrats to use the budget reconciliation process to provide a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
The 19-page memo calls on Democrats to proactively use the Senate's complex rules in their favor to thread a comprehensive immigrant protection program into President Biden's Build Back Better bill.
"Our elected leaders have promised for years to secure a pathway to citizenship, and this memo demonstrates how Senate Democrats can use their existing authority under Senate rules to make good on that promise," said Marielena Hincapié, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center (NILC), one of the groups that published the memo.
