Trump-Backed SAVE America Act Moves Closer To Passage

But conservatives argue Democrats have repeatedly pledged to do just that if they regain control of the chamber.

They add that, based on Democrats’ threats, Republicans should just end the rule now and push their agenda through, which they say would include the SAVE Act and make it harder for Democrats to win again.

Trump has also directed criticism at Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, whose ruling determined that the SAVE America Act did not qualify for inclusion in the immigration package under the Senate’s budget reconciliation rules, which allow passage by a simple majority vote.
