Senate Democrats have finally admitted defeat.
In turn, they have handed Joe Biden another massive loss.
As it turns out, however, it may be a saving grace and Joe Biden does not even realize it.
No Amnesty
Senate Democrats tried to ram through amnesty for illegal immigrants in the latest budget package.
It has met significant resistance, not to mention that it probably would not get past the Senate Parliamentarian.
Democrats are about to push another reconciliation package through, so they have tossed the amnesty.
NBC broke the news via Twitter on Tuesday…
Asked if immigration is at all part of reconciliation talks, @SenatorDurbin responds with a clear and unequivocal “no.”

Senator Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) has been working with Durbin to fit amnesty into a package, but they have been unsuccessful thus far.
The fact that Tillis is even considering this puts him on the radar for MAGA Republicans who refuse to give in on this matter.
You can probably multiply the amnesty number by at least two in terms of how many more would get amnesty based on chain migration.
There is simply no way we can break on this matter with Joe Biden’s open border policy that has resulted in more than two million illegal immigrant encounters at our southern border since he took office.
At the current pace of 200,000 per month, that total is likely to be tripled by the end of Biden’s first, and hopefully only, term.
