“Finally, it is important to note that an obvious corollary of a finding that this proposal is appropriate for inclusion in reconciliation would be that it could be repealed by simple majority vote in a subsequent reconciliation measure. Perhaps more critically, permitting this provision in reconciliation would set a precedent that could be used to argue that rescinding any immigration status from anyone – not just those who obtain LPR status by virtue of this provision — would be permissible because the policy of stripping status from any immigrant does not vastly outweigh whatever budgetary impact there might be. That would be a stunning development but a logical outgrowth of permitting this proposed change in reconciliation and is further evidence that the policy changes of this proposal far outweigh the budgetary impact scored to it and it is not appropriate for inclusion in reconciliation.”

MacDonough’s reasoning is iron clad and shuts down any plan B, C, D…Z being included in reconciliation bill, unless dems have balls to get rid of filibuster and bring separate immigration bill on senate floor. The reason she gave to rule against inclusion of plan A applies to all alternative plans dems are talking about. Dems are only fooling you people.
Wishing is one thing, but betting one’s whole future on wishful thinking is different thing. So wake up guys. Instead of reading articles from dem leaning websites, read the MacDonough’s ruling yourself, and make your own conclusion. Here is the link to the ruling:
