U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, a member of the Senate Budget Committee, released the following statement regarding the Senate Parliamentarian's decision on the proposal to provide a pathway to citizenship for DACA recipients, TPS holders, and immigrant essential workers in budget reconciliation:

"I'm saddened by this decision, but I remain deeply committed to protecting immigrants who call America home, including over 20,000 TPS holders and 9,000 DACA recipients in Virginia. Our Commonwealth and our economy are stronger thanks to their contributions, and I will not rest until we put them on the path to citizenship."
