Hispanic women introduce comprehensive bipartisan immigration bill for legal status in US.
TL;DR Summary
Florida Republican Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar and Texas Democrat Rep. Veronica Escobar have introduced a comprehensive immigration bill that includes a path to citizenship for Dreamers, changes to asylum processing, and revisions to the visa system. The nearly 500-page bill represents a rare bipartisan effort on immigration and incorporates elements from earlier, narrower bipartisan immigration bills. The proposed legislation faces challenges in the divided Congress, with Republicans wary of provisions legalizing undocumented immigrants and Democrats reluctant to accept more money toward border security.
