Joe Manchin (D-WV) is reportedly throwing his support behind a Democrat budget that includes providing amnesty to millions of illegal aliens living in the United States. For months, House and Senate Democrats have plotted to slip amnesty for illegal aliens into a filibuster-proof budget through the little-known reconciliation process. Manchins support for such a measure is crucial as he is considered one of the Democrats most moderate Senators, along with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ).
