Two bills expected to be brought up to a House vote this month — the American Dream and Promise Act and the Farm Workforce Modernization Act — address a pathway to citizenship for thousands of immigrants.
The comprehensive US Citizenship Act of 2021, which was also unveiled in February, addresses other immigration issues like visas and border security. It’s unclear if the US Citizenship Act of 2021 will be put up for a congressional vote, but in conjunction with the two smaller bills, it could serve as an outline of Biden’s and Democrats’ immigration agenda. Meanwhile, government data shows how many people may be affected if the proposed policies are enacted.
