Bipartisan immigration bill proposed by South Florida representatives.

Two lawmakers introduced a new comprehensive immigration bill called The Dignity Act of 2023, which offers legal options for unaccompanied minors entering the United States, creates new pathways for asylum, and grants undocumented people in the U.S. legal status, work and travel authority. The bill would shift the nation’s goal from eliminating all unlawful border crossings to instead being better positioned to detect and interdict those that present a threat or national security concerns. It also establishes regional processing centers in Latin American countries, where people could be pre-screened for asylum eligibility.
