PATRICIA JANIOT, ANCHOR, UNIVISION: We begin this Thursday with the meeting that Vice President Kamala Harris held at the White House with activists and young DREAMers in order to send a forceful message to Congress: that the time has come to legalize hundreds of thousands of DREAMers.

...

JANET RODRIGUEZ, WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT, UNIVISION: (Both) Harris and President Joe Biden are now committed to supporting that the legalization of millions of undocumented immigrants comes to pass via the budget reconciliation process in Congress- the only viable way through which to achieve legalization this year.

...

JANIOT: And how is the budget reconciliation process that could legalize these young people and millions more progressing?

RODRIGUEZ: Patricia, the Senate is currently drafting what would be included in the budget, which might include a pathway to legalization. But in reality, there are still many critical votes remaining in order to determine whether Democrats will be able to use this political maneuver to legalize thousands, millions of undocumented immigrants; and this could be delayed, Patricia, until September.
