Reforms after end of pandemic? House Democrats may introduce immigration measures in a graded manner, giving priority to popular measures like helping refugees, agriculture workers and people brought to the US illegally as children first, leaving no leverage to push through less popular measures like increasing immigration for skilled workers. However, Republican Senator Marco Rubio is of the view that a skilled work visa during pandemic-sparked economic crisis would be "very difficult" to manage. While Democratic Senator Robert Menendez, who introduced Biden's bill, said any additional foreign worker visas would only get support as part of a broader bill that includes a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
