The bill includes protections for undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, as well as individuals here under humanitarian programs like Temporary Protected Status (TPS). However, it excludes anyone who entered the U.S. after January 1, 2021. You can find a summary and the full text of the bill at https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/6.
This legislation is an important first step in addressing the challenges faced by millions of undocumented immigrants and TPS holders. However, the road ahead is challenging. Passing the bill in the Senate requires the support of 60 senators, which may prove difficult. While the Democratic Party holds a simple majority, a filibuster by opposing senators could block the bill unless 60 votes are secured to end the debate.
Additionally, the Senate may propose amendments to the bill, meaning it could change before it becomes law. Advocates and supporters must continue their efforts to build bipartisan support for this immigration reform bill. Stay updated on the latest immigration news to see how this develops.
