US EditionFlorida US rep., bipartisan lawmakers introduce new ‘Dignity Act’ proposing legalization path for some migrants
UNITED STATES, JUL 17 – The Dignity Act of 2025 offers undocumented immigrants legal status and work authorization without citizenship or federal benefits, backed by bipartisan lawmakers amid shifting public opinion.
- Florida Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar and Texas Rep. Veronica Escobar reintroduced the Dignity Act on July 15, 2025, in Washington D.C. to provide some undocumented immigrants legal status.
- The bill builds on a 2023 proposal that failed to advance in Congress despite bipartisan support and months of negotiations to address immigration reform.
- The legislation includes a seven-year deferred action program for immigrants in the U.S. since before 2021 who pass background checks and pay fines but excludes citizenship pathways.
- Gallup polling shows 79% of Americans now view immigration positively, with bipartisan support increasing, which lawmakers hope will aid the bill's progress.
- The bill’s passage remains uncertain because it must clear both House and Senate amid continuing debates and shifting enforcement policies, though advocates call for urgent reform.
