Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) recently blamed America’s current labor shortage, in part, on former President Donald Trump’s efforts to fight illegal immigration. What did he say?

Then, on Sunday, Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough dealt another blow to President Biden and his Democratic counterparts in determining that the immigration reforms could not be considered within a budget reconciliation because they would amount to “by any standard a broad, new immigration policy.”
“The policy changes of this proposal far outweigh the budgetary impact scored to it and it is not appropriate for inclusion in reconciliation,” MacDonough concluded. What else? In the backdrop of all this, the U.S. economy continues to grapple with a labor shortage amid its slow recovery from COVID-19 pandemic […]
