US lawmakers introduce proposals aimed at allowing undocumented immigrants to live and work legally in America
One of the key provisions of the Act is to introduce a Dignity Program, a 7-year earned legal status program.

The Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants has strained America's immigrant population, but a potential solution is emerging.

The Trump administration’s crackdown on legal and illegal migrants has shaken America’s immigrant population. But a solution seems to be on the horizon.

Lawmakers in the US have introduced The Dignity Act, aimed to provide undocumented immigrants who meet strict conditions with an earned opportunity to live and work legally, with dignity and accountability.



Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar and Congresswoman Veronica Escobar, along with a group of 20 members, have introduced a new and improved version of the DIGNITY Act – the DIGNITY Act of 2025, calling it a bold, historic, and commonsense immigration reform bill.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Since the article "forgot" to mention the political parties of the two congressional "persons," or the 20 other members, and also doesn't use the word "bipartisan" to describe the group, I would say this "marvelous" piece of legislation is purely democrat. :pondering:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yep, making the undocumented into documented without all the wait and fuss of applying for citizenship or greencards.

NO EFFING WAY

If things are that bad, Congress can Legislate changes to Immigration Law if they are needed.

If they entered the US illegally, they've already acted in bad faith.
If they overstayed their visa, they've already acted in bad faith.
If they filed a request for asylum after they entered the US on a visa, they've already acted in bad faith.

NO MAS

America is not the United Nations' flop house.

If things in Central America are that bad, make the State Department do their damned job and attempt to use diplomacy to resolve the situation.
