A group of 201 Congress members, mainly California Democrats, have reintroduced legislation aimed at granting citizenship to around 2.7 million undocumented immigrants, predominantly Dreamers. Chair of the House Democratic Caucus, Aguilar, highlighted their significant contributions to society and the economy, noting they have paid taxes and added billions to local economies. Despite the growing public support for these reforms, similar bills have repeatedly failed over the years. Former President Trump also expressed willingness to negotiate a solution for Dreamers, indicating some bipartisan potential to address this issue.
California Democrats were among 201 members of Congress to reintroduce a bill on Wednesday that would provide a path to citizenship for an estimated 2.7 million undocumented immigrants.
They pay taxes, some of them own homes. And they have contributed $108 billion in our local economy. And yet, these are the same individuals who live in fear.
There is overwhelming public support for establishing a path to citizenship for people who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.
I want to be able to work something out. ... I think we can work with the Democrats and work something out.
