President Joe Biden's big immigration bill will be delayed until April as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi struggles to find enough Democratic votes.
Politico reported Thursday that Democrats took a whip count this week and found that the package wouldn't pass as-is.
Instead, they'll send the legislation through the Judiciary Committee and pass smaller immigration bills this month.
The Hill newspaper reported that one of those bills will be legislation that provides a path to citizenship for the so-called 'Dreamers' - immigrants who were brought to the United States as children.
On inauguration day, Biden signed an executive order fortifying DACA - Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
The Obama-era program, that came under legal assault during the Trump years, deferred deportation for Dreamers who met certain criteria.
Congressional legislation would take Dreamers out of limbo and allow them to become U.S. citizens.
Another smaller bill the House will likely take up, according to the Hill, is one that would expand visa and citizenship opportunities for migrant farmworkers.
Biden's broader bill on immigration provides an eight year path to citizenship for most of the 11 million undocumented people living in the United States.
It also makes family-based or 'chain' immigration easier.

It took less that 20 years for Socialist to turn Venezuela from a rich nation into a nation of squalid lifestyle, no medicine, little food, poor drinking water. The leaders do not miss a meal and the public are eating their leftovers from the garbage cans. Biden and Pelousy are taking America down the same path as Venezuela if they allow the Socialist to take over the government and rewrite our Constitution to suit themselves. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/5-reasons-why-the-crisis-in-vene...
