Any updates?

It’s sad to know this bill would pass the house and senate, but leadership and Trump would stop it. That’s why the bills must be attached to spending bill.

This is what bipartisanship looks like. I’m proud to join my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to introduce the #USAact, a bipartisan compromise that gives our 800,000 #Dreamers legal status while also investing more $ in smart border security and immigration courts

I Don't think a bill with only 800,000 beneficiaries would pass the house. Right?

How so. Not all republicans will vote for it. They need dem votes and they will not vote for it if it doesn't include all the dreamers

I believe this is the bill:

Quick summary:

Quote:

At the core of the deal would be a legislative way to enact DACA, an Obama administration program that protected young undocumented immigrants who came to the US as children from deportation that Trump has decided to end.

The bill would offer qualifying individuals the ability to get in line for a green card and eventual citizenship after years of conditional residency, provided they meet certain requirements, including a background check and work, education or military service requirements. The bill doesn't make explicit reference to sponsoring relatives, but the bill summary notes that existing law would prohibit parents of these individuals who came to the US illegally to apply for a visa to come back without returning to their home country for at least 10 years before applying and the bill does nothing to erase that requirement. That addresses "chain migration," or family-based migration, that Trump says he wants to cut.

Other provisions include increasing the number of immigration judges and attorneys, as the Justice Department has sought, to reduce the lengthy backlog of cases in immigration courts that cause people to stay in the US in limbo for years. The bill also coordinates efforts to improve conditions in Central America, to address factors that send undocumented immigrants to the US.
For the border, the bill draws heavily from Hurd's "smart wall" bill that would direct the Department of Homeland Security to gain "operational control" of the border by the end of 2020 through "technology, physical barriers, levees, tools and other devices," according to a bill summary shared with CNN.
