Florida US rep., Bipartisan Lawmakers Introduce New ‘Dignity Act’ Proposing Legalization Path for some Migrants

WASHINGTON D.C., JUL 15 – The bipartisan bill aims to legalize up to 10 million immigrants and includes $10 billion to modernize ports of entry amid rising public support for immigration reform, Gallup found.

  • On July 15, 2025, Representatives Maria Elvira Salazar and Veronica Escobar reintroduced the bipartisan Dignity Act in Washington, D.C., proposing legalization for some undocumented immigrants.
  • The Dignity Act follows earlier unsuccessful attempts since 2023 and builds on over two years of negotiations amid a shifting political and public opinion environment on immigration.
  • The bill offers a seven-year deferred action program for undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. since before 2021 who pass background checks and pay fines but excludes federal benefit eligibility or citizenship paths.
  • Gallup polling shows 79% of Americans now see immigration as beneficial, with bipartisan support increasing, while the bill counts 18 cosponsors across party lines reflecting growing momentum.
  • If enacted, the Dignity Act could provide legal protections to millions and marks a crucial step amid evolving enforcement policies and longstanding congressional failures on immigration reform since 1996.
