The $3.5 trillion budget proposal unveiled by Senate Democrats on Monday would earmark $107 billion in funding toward immigration initiatives, including the development of a pathway to citizenship for immigrants. Under the budget proposal, the Senate Judiciary Committee would receive the $107 billion in part to pursue “lawful permanent status for qualified immigrants.” The committee also would be directed to pursue “investments in smart and effective border security measures.” The proposal does not specify how many people would be granted legal status nor identifies which border security measures would be pursued. However, a summary of the budget resolution suggests it would provide “green cards to millions of immigrant workers and families.
