Let's see if Schumer and his Commies fire the Parliamentarian:
Senate parliamentarian rules that Democrats can't give illegal immigrants pathway to citizenship in new spending bill
The ruling potentially wrecks Democrats’ hopes of unilaterally enacting changes which would have allowed multiple categories of illegal migrants to gain permanent residence and possibly citizenship.

The US Senate parliamentarian ruled Sunday night Democrats cannot include a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens in the their $3.5 trillion social-spending bill.
According to the Associated Press, Elizabeth MacDonough, the Senate’s nonpartisan parliamentarian, ruled that that the immigration language could not be included in the massive spending bill that’s been protected from Republican filibusters. The ruling potentially wrecks Democrats’ hopes of unilaterally enacting changes which would have allowed multiple categories of illegal migrants to gain permanent residence and possibly citizenship.
MacDonough was appointed in 2012 when Democrats controlled the chamber.
The liberal Center for American Progress has estimated that 6 million illegal immigrants could have taken advantage of the Democrats’ legislation.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, (D-NY), said in a statement, "We are deeply disappointed in this decision but the fight to provide lawful status for immigrants in budget reconciliation continues. Senate Democrats have prepared alternate proposals and will be holding additional meetings with the Senate parliamentarian in the coming days."
The news comes on the heels of the Biden administration’s approval rating crashing down into the 30s.
