House approves bills that would give 3M 'Dreamers' and farmworkers pathway to citizenship

The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives passed two immigration bills that would provide a pathway to citizenship to approximately 3 million people illegally working and residing in the United States.

While the Biden administration’s focus is on the southern border, where several thousand children are arriving each week only to be released into the country, Democrats remain focused on pushing bits and pieces of President Biden’s larger immigration reform bill through Congress. Republicans have lambasted Democrats’ attempts to pass “amnesty” bills that they say will incentivize people outside the U.S. to attempt to get into the country in hopes of being the beneficiaries of similar future bills.
