House Democrats on Thursday passed a bill that would create a path to citizenship for Dreamers and some rural migrant workers, with a broken approach as the fate of President Biden

Call the bill “an important step in ending the veil of fear and uncertainty that has plagued the lives of our dreamers for far too long.”
But in addition to helping Dreamers, the legislation would also allow those with temporary protected status (TPS) to apply for citizenship, a group of countries around the world ranging from those already in the 1990s of civil unrest and natural disasters flights to Venezuela deemed eligible for status by the Biden administration earlier this month.
In total, the Dream and Promise Act would help naturalize nearly 4.5 million people.
If approved by the Senate, the legislation would provide a long-standing goal for Democrats, who are eager to advance the status of Dreamers, as former President Obama’s 2012 Defered Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program repeatedly in court is disputed.
But the prospect of getting the ‘immigration week’ legislation to Biden’s desk has been hampered by a boom on the southern border, with Republicans reluctant to implement any immigration reform before dealing with the situation first.

“Until he regains control, it will be difficult to do the Dreamers or anything else by implementing policies that work.”
Meanwhile, a Republican immigration package launched Wednesday, which will also provide citizens with Dreamers, includes a trigger mechanism to “ensure border security is completed before other reforms take place.”
During the House debate on the bill, Republicans frequently referred to a ‘crisis on our southern border’, arguing that the government in Biden was encouraging increased migration.
“We are out of the debate. The question is whether we have a border at all. What is the reaction of the Democrats? This bill promises a path to citizenship to DACA recipients, but millions more, ‘Rep. Tom McClintock

“We all sympathize with those who were brought here illegally as young children years ago,” he said. He noted that Republican support for other bills protects Protectors Dreamers, but includes border security measures that discourage another generation of young people being brought here. ‘
According to the U.S. Border Patrol, the fear on the southern border increased by 28 percent from January to February to more than 100,000 people, and the Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday that the U.S. is “on track to attract more individuals to the Southwest border. to encounter. than we have done for the past 20 years. ”

Democrats said the case for Dreamers rests on compassion, economics and the U.S. history of immigration.
“They have so much to contribute, and they are Americans in every way, except on paper. For so many years, they have been plagued by insecurity because of the anti-immigrant hysteria incited by these Republican fanatics. Lloyd Doggett

Democrats also claim that the pandemic has shown that value immigrants play as essential workers and as drivers of the economy.
‘Recipients are essential to our communities. Many of them have been living in the United States for decades. They form a significant part of the workforce in key industries, including construction, food service and home health care. “They are contributing to the US economy, not only through their jobs, but also through consumer spending and tax revenue, and they were especially vital to serving our country during the COVID-19 pandemic,” the House Judiciary Committee chaired.

“This legislation is not about the border. “This legislation is to ultimately fulfill our promise to America’s dreamers and others who deserve our equal protection,” Nadler said.
The House on Thursday also passed legislation that provides a citizenship path for seasonal migrant workers, enabling those who travel to the U.S. for a decade to apply for citizenship after another four years.
The bill, which passed 247-174, is expected to grant citizenship to more than a million migrants, and it also increases the number of agricultural visas available to those who want to work in the US.
This ensured more Republican support, including multiple votes from agricultural communities.
“For years, my constituents have been asking me to fix our country’s broken immigration system. They say that it is destroying our farmers in rural communities, ”said Rep. Mike Simpson

“We have drafted a bill to create a merit-based agricultural immigration system for the food producers of our country and to make much-needed reforms … This bill is not about what happens at the border,” Simpson said. said. “It’s about providing a stable, legal workforce for the people who put food on our table.”
Although the two accounts together would enable a significant number of migrants to naturalize, it does not come behind the 11 million figure that would be covered by a large immigration package driven by Biden.
Although the White House has issued statements of support for both bills, it has also called for the adoption of Biden’s bill, stressing the need ‘to reform other aspects of our immigration system.’
