The fate of 'Dreamers' has become wedded to Democrats’ sprawling $3.5 trillion social-welfare package

Democrats are advancing President Biden’s agenda through a budget process that requires a simple majority and can pass with just Democratic support. Seeking to include green cards for the so-called Dreamers and other immigrants in the package, benefiting as many as eight million people, could allow Democrats to avoid making any concessions to Republicans amid deep divisions in immigration policy.
