Fitzpatrick, Houlahan, Kelly, Smucker Back Bipartisan Immigration Reform Bill
Nearly 50 bipartisan lawmakers back a bill that would let undocumented immigrants earn legal status after five years and a criminal background check.
- On Monday, the bipartisan House Problem Solvers Caucus endorsed the DIGNIDAD Act, marking the first time the group has backed the bill under President Donald Trump.
- The legislation creates a path for legal status for undocumented immigrants who have lived in the United States for over five years, which proponents claim brings millions "out of the shadows."
- As of Tuesday, the proposal has 39 co-sponsors, including 20 Democrats and 19 Republicans, with supporters arguing the act could reduce the national debt by up to $50 billion.
- House GOP hardliners, including the conservative House Freedom Caucus, have bashed the proposal, while Rep. Brandon Gill alleged on social media it supports "mass amnesty for illegal aliens."
- Despite fierce backlash from the MAGA movement, Problem Solvers Caucus Co-Chairman Brian Fitzpatrick maintains the act offers "a responsible bipartisan path forward," emphasizing it is not amnesty but compassion and rule of law working together.
