House Democrats have agreed to put a “Plan D” amnesty into the trillion-dollar “reconciliation budget,” according to press reports.
Plan D is needed because the Senate’s debate referee has excluded three prior plans — Plans A, B, and C — from the pending reconciliation budget, which the Democrats can pass with just their 50 votes in the Senate.
But the Democrats’ determined amnesty push is also hiding other proposals to flood Americans’ national labor market — and their overheated housing market — with more low-wage foreign workers and families.
The Washington Post reported the Plan D amnesty:
The provision, a fallback known as the “Registry” proposal… would apply to those with provisional immigration status, as well as undocumented immigrants [living in the United States since 2010], giving them a track to legalization that activists have demanded for years. The House Judiciary Committee was instructed a week and a half ago to be ready to have text on this, according to one of the people with knowledge of the situation.
Current law allows an undocumented immigrant who entered the United States before Jan. 1, 1972, to apply for legal status. The new strategy would update the date to clear the way for millions of longtime undocumented immigrants to gain permanent residency.
The House is expected to include the registry Plan D in the budget it sends to the Senate. The budget will also include “Plan C,” which would allow the nation’s population of more than 11 million illegals to get legal parole status.

That parole status would allow millions of illegals to get work permits and exemptions from deportations, creating another social class of powerless people in the United States.
The Plan C option is shaky because the Senate’s debate referee, the parliamentarian, has already said that it is more of a policy goal than a spending program. The parliamentarian’s approval is vital because she is required to exclude policy issues from the pending reconciliation budget, which the Democrats can pass without any votes from the 50 Republican Senators.
Still, Plan C “looks like the best chance,” said Todd Schulte, who heads Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us lobbying group for West Coast investors. “We believe that would be transformative …. [but] this is really a right and narrow window … this is very uncertain,” he told an October event organized by the left-wing site, DemocracyJournal.org.
However, the media coverage of the amnesty issue is obscuring other huge immigration changes in the Democrats’ spending plans.
For example, the first draft of the House spending plan dramatically accelerates the inflow of chain migrants. Instead of inviting roughly 240,000 chain migrants per year, the House plan would allow roughly 3 million migrants over the next few years — and lift the annual inflow each year after.
That huge inflow would flood the labor market, lower Americans’ salaries, and also spike the cost of homes and rents. In early September, Breitbart News reported:
