A group of four top Democratic senators has presented legislation to give a much-necessary pathway to a Green Card<\/strong> for up to 8 million<\/strong> individuals, including dreamers, H-1B<\/strong>, and long-term visa holders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the bill, an immigrant <\/strong>might meet all requirements for lawful permanent resident status if they have lived in the US continuously for at least 7 years<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Reestablishing Immigration Provisions of the Immigration Act<\/strong> was presented in the Senate by Senator Alex Padilla and co-sponsored by Senators Elizabeth Warren, Ben Ray Lujan, and Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our outdated immigration system<\/strong> is harming countless individuals and keeping down America’s economy.<\/strong> My bill would update the Registry cutoff date for the first time in over 35 years <\/strong>so that more immigrants can apply for legal permanent residence<\/strong>, said Padilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This could significantly affect a huge number of immigrants<\/strong>. Some of who have been living, working and adding to the United States for decades<\/strong>. By allowing them to live openly without the fear of an uncertain future, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green Card pathway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Green Card, known formally as a Permanent Resident Card<\/strong>, is a document given to immigrants<\/strong>. To the US as proof that the carrier has been granted the honor of residing for all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regulation would give a much-necessary pathway<\/strong> to a green card for up to 8 million<\/strong> individuals. Including dreamers effectively dislodged residents (TPS holders), children of long-term visa holders who face deportation, essential laborers, and highly skilled individuals from the workforce. For example, H-1B visa holders<\/strong> who have been waiting years for a green card to become available, a statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to estimates by the pro-immigration<\/strong> campaigning group FWD.us. If the undocumented people covered in this bill became residents, they would contribute roughly USD 83 billion<\/strong>. To the US economy every year and about USD 27 billion<\/strong> in charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Companion legislation<\/strong> has been presented in the House of Representatives by Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For decades, immigrants <\/strong>who contribute fundamentally to our networks and our economy <\/strong>have been relegated to lawful limbo. Said Lofgren, Chair of the House Subcommittee on Immigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill introduced in US Congress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, updating this historically-bipartisan <\/strong>provision to give lawful permanent resident status. Immigrants who have been a part of our networks for years will make our immigration system<\/strong> fairer and our country stronger, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legislators said Section 249<\/strong> of the Immigration and Nationality Act, otherwise called the Registry. It gives the Secretary of Homeland Security the discretion to register specific people for lawful permanent resident status<\/strong>. If they have been in the country since a certain date and meet other requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Section 249 was first systematized in 1929<\/strong> and Congress has adjusted it multiple times, generally as of late in 1986<\/strong>. No changes have been made since 1986 and the cutoff date for eligibility remains 1st January 1972, more than 50 years ago<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move has been invited by the Green Card competitors<\/strong> living in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main humanitarian and viable solution for us is a pathway to citizenship, which the Registry Bill<\/strong> seeks to offer. We demand that Congress act and make the best decision. Pass the Registry Bill, said Anil Shahi, TPS Holder<\/strong> from Nepal and Coordinator with Adhikaar & Communities United for Status & Protection (CUSP). Also, he has lived in this country for over 30 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hail the striking authority of Representatives Padilla, Lujan, Warren, and Durbin to move Congress <\/strong>to update the registry. Current immigration regulation has not been reexamined in more than 35 years<\/strong>. An update of the registry will give immigrants the ability to access permanent residency,<\/strong> said Angelica Salas, CHIRLA executive director.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
