ADVERTISEMENT The last four years of misguided policies have exacerbated the already broken immigration system and highlighted the critical need for reform, Biden said in a statement Thursday, saying the bill would address the wrongdoings of the past administration and restore justice, humanity, and order to our immigration system.
But even with a Democratic-led Congress, passing an immigration bill will be a heavy lift given that Senate Democrats would need to secure 10 GOP votes to pass the bill through the regular legislative process.
The bill would deliver on several of Biden’s campaign promises, including providing a path to citizenship for the young people brought to the U.S by their parents as children, known as Dreamers.
