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.
