Senate Democrats are looking to include immigration reform as part of a $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill. Despite their trying to squeeze in as much reckless liberal policy as possible, it appears they forgot the rules of reconciliation measures.

To review: Budget reconciliation allows Congress to avoid the 60-vote, filibuster-proof majority for most legislation needed to pass in the Senate. Such bills can only relate to spending, revenues (for example, taxation), deficits, or the debt ceiling. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that immigration measures would be eligible to be included.
