In the first hundred days of his presidency, Joe Biden stepped right onto a third rail immigration reform. On day one he unveiled the U.S. Citizenship Act, sponsored by Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.) in the House and Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) in the Senate, a comprehensive, 353-page immigration reform bill.
Then in mid-March the House passed two stand-alone pieces of legislation extracted from the Biden bill. The American Dream and Promise Act creates legal protections from deportation and a path to citizenship for some 4 million individuals Dreamers–who entered the U.S. as children without documents. The Farm Workforce Modernization Act creates a way for farmworkers to get protected status and streamlines the green card process.
