Biden: ‘Remains to be seen’ if DACA citizenship pathway will be in $3.5T budget

It “remains to be seen” if a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, people originally promised such under the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, can be included in the Democrats’ $3.5 trillion budget package, President Biden said.

The commander-in-chief made the comments just before walking into the White House Sunday while returning from a weekend in Wilmington, Del., after being asked by a pool reporter whether a pathway for citizenship needed to be included in budget reconciliation, which would be rammed through Congress with no GOP support.
