What is the Build Back Better agenda?

This is Biden’s budget package that seeks to introduce immigration reform in the Senate through the reconciliation process, which would allow Democratic leaders to circumvent the Republican filibuster in the upper chamber of Congress.

One of the purposes of this proposal is to make it possible to change the immigration status of thousands of foreigners living in the US undocumented.

However, this social spending bill has been rejected 3 times by the Senate Parliamentarian and only has a chance to pass if the Democratic Caucus joins.

Manchin’s negative response to the spending bill

In late 2021, the Senate Parliamentarian stated that the spending bill should not pass, leaving as the only alternative a voting process that requires the approval of at least 50 senators to continue the legislative process.

In order to obtain these votes, it is necessary to have the support of each and every Democratic Senator currently sitting in the Senate.

However, after the Senate Parliamentarian’s response, Democratic Representative Joe Manchin publicly shared his decision not to support Biden’s spending bill.

A possible change of decision by Senator Manchin

During December, President Biden and Democratic Senator Joe Manchin discussed about the spending bill and these negotiations open up the possibility that the Senator will again support the proposal to include immigration reform in the budget package.

This support includes certain modifications in the proposal such as the reduction of the child tax credit (CTC), which, before the negotiations, would provide a benefit of up to $3600 per child every year.

Modify the proposal to gain support

These modifications that significantly reduce the total budget to implement the proposal could be the key point to retake the alliance with Senator Manchin and some Republican representatives who may vote in favor of the bill.
