I like the part that lets EB immigrants pay $5000 to skip the line.   There are H1-Bs facing a 100 year wait earning 7 figures in this country and they just get a green card.  
 

The rest of bill is disaster. 
 

I don’t think the senate parliamentarian will go for it.

The left likes to talk about "immigration reform". How about making it easier for people who follow the law and do it the right way instead of worrying about the law breakers? This is just gonna result in illegals going to the head of the line and legal immigrants having to wait longer (and probably pay higher fees to cover the illegals who pay nothing). Its a slap in the face to people who immigrate the legal way. When I talk about making it easier for legal immigrants I still believe we need background checks, health screenings and some way to make sure they don't become a financial burden on our country. But those of you who have been through the immigration process know there is a lot of red tape and multiple requests for the same information by different agencies that can be reduced or eliminated. Also I think things can be sped up by allowing forms to be filled out and paperwork to be submitted online. Why don't we look at those issues when talking about "immigration reform" instead of being so concerned with a bunch of law breakers? Most of which will become dependent on government handouts. I think my wife and her immigrant friends are more upset about this situation and the border situation than I am. Like I said it is a slap in the face to them because they had to go through a long expensive process and because they all have jobs and never received a government handout.

I thought the Senate Parliamentarian already ruled that immigration reform could not be part of a reconciliation Bill.

They keep asking her and she keeps saying no.  
 

The House Democrats are pressuring Chuck Schumer to over rule the parliamentarian

One Party Rule.  Always a good thing.

To 99.44% of people, "immigration" = illegal immigration.

They have little or no idea about the legal process.

To most Democrats I talk to opposing illegal immigration equals opposing all immigration.
