The high hopes of a path to citizenship for the undocumented are reduced to a new, less attractive plan, but the one that Democrats in Congress believe may have a greater chance.
It is about the idea to offer a forgiveness of deportation to undocumented persons and grant them Employment Authorization, but without the right to citizenship .
Representative Jerrold Nadler (New York), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is working on the proposal that will be sent to MP Elizabeth MacDonough .
Chamber sources confirmed to this newspaper that the proposal could be completed this week, then an analysis of the investment required to be implemented and subsequently send it to MP MacDonough’s office .
However, The plan review could take more than a week as MacDonough is out for medical treatment, sources from both houses indicated.
Adriano Spaillat (New York), had mentioned part of the plan to The Hill.
“The next in line is this parole option (or ‘parole’), which is not as ambitious as the first two, but also provides relief to a significant number of people who are here without documentation and allows them to work, ”said Espaillat.
Democrats remain divided on the $ 3.5 trillion package dollars, but hUntil now, few Latino congressmen have said “no” They will support a Reconciliation project without benefits for immigrants.
In addition to Espaillat, those who would reject the economic package are the representatives Jesús “Chuy” García (Illinois) and Lou Correa (California).
MP MacDonough refused to open the path to citizenship for eight million essential workers, including ‘dreamers’, people with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and agricultural employees.
He also refused to approve the proposal to modify the Registry Law , which would be modified so that undocumented immigrants who arrived in the United States before 2010 could request a “green card”.
