US Democrats aim for $3.5trn 'human infrastructure' spend  

The bill will address social spending and immigration 

Democratic senate majority leader Chuck Schumer aims to launch immediately into debate of a budget framework that would provide the outlines for the $3.5trn bill.

As the US senate got closer to passing a $1trn infrastructure bill, Democrats released details of the expected $3.5trn companion bill addressing social spending and immigration that they aim to turn to next.

The first details of the larger bill, which is a key goal for progressive Democrats, showed that it would provide tax incentives for 'clean' manufacturing, make community college free for two years, and provide a pathway to citizenship for millions of immigrant workers.
