Bridge Act introduced in the Senate and House of Representatives. - Page 7

Here is the relevant text that supports my statement:

“(2) EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION.—If a DACA recipient has been granted employment authorization by the Secretary in addition to deferred action, the employment authorization shall continue through the expiration date of the alien’s deferred action status, as specified by the Secretary in conjunction with the approval of the alien’s DACA application.

“(3) EFFECT OF APPLICATION.—If a DACA recipient files an application for provisional protected presence under this section not later than the expiration date of the alien’s deferred action status, as specified by the Secretary in conjunction with the approval of the alien’s DACA application, the alien’s provisional protected presence, and any employment authorization, shall remain in effect pending the adjudication of such application.”.

Pianos, are you basing your statement on this part of the bill?

“(d) Duration Of Provisional Protected Presence And Employment Authorization.—Provisional protected presence and the employment authorization provided under this section shall be effective until the date that is three years after the date of the enactment of this section."

Where did you get that interpretation from?

What about the Dreamers that qualified under the 2014 Executive Action?

Same here .

Does this help people that would have qualified under the 2014 eDACA which resulted in a 4-4 in Supreme Court?

oh man

I believe trump will have a better solution than the bridge act.

I think many are simply asking for the formula for passage, but the following issues arise every time.


Senate:

-Will Democrats give a President Trump an immigration win, or filibuster? Would Democrats be willing to give permanent security to Trump and Republicans for a provisional status that expires for Dreamers?

-Are there enough Republican votes to overcome motions?

House:

-Will Ryan stick to the Hastert rule?

-How much effort and pull will the House Reform Caucus along with other Republican factions in the House shape legislation that would allow passage in the Senate?


President

-What will end legislation look like on the President's desk? Will legislation be too draconian due to amendments or provisional presence be removed?

-Will Trump End DACA? Also, would work permits be allowed to simply expire?

-How would a President Trump and his team interpret the rules and regulations passed by Congress? Will interpretation be left up to an Attorney Sessions?


There are pros and cons to this legislation. However, considering the choices available, chances should be taken.

This isn't saying it's stackable. It says right in the bottom


“(d) Duration Of Provisional Protected Presence And Employment Authorization.—Provisional protected presence and the employment authorization provided under this section shall be effective until the date that is three years after the date of the enactment of this section.

"Three hears after the date of enactment of this section"


It says that while your daca is still in effect you can still apply for this Bridge act. But it no where says ican be stalked. It says conjunction, but it doesn't mean oh yeah 2 year plus 3. It just means doesn't matter if you haven't expire you can still apply for this

They are saying the bridge act is going to be law for 3 years after it is passed. During those 3 years you can apply and have your Daca extended for another 3 years. So whenever your current work permit expires then you can apply for an additional 3 years under the bridge act. At least, that's how I read it.

No the Bridge act is not renewable


Saying "have daca extended" makes no sense at all because the purpose of this bill was to protect us IN case trump ended daca.

This bill is saying this:
Once it passes the 3 years of daca like status start accruing, if we happen to have daca valid for 2 years assuming trump let's use expire, this Bridge Act won't affect we still have those 2 years of EADS. But we then have 1 more year of Bridge Act protection thus the conjunction part. People who didn't apply for daca can also chose to apply for this, it's not expanding the range of applications either like say make the age 40 and entry age 20.

I think you are understanding this wrong. Say BRIDGE Act passes August 2017, which means there are work permits available until August 2020. So if you currently have DACA and you expire say September 2019 the BRIDGE Act would only help you from your expiration date until August 2020.
