US Immigration.
Democrats finalized their massive spending bill, it includes following immigration provisions, Work permits for millions, Green card recapture Provisions, Waive annual and per-country limitations with super fee, Child Tax Credit, temporary “parole” protections for undocumented immigrants.
Voting for that bill is expected today.
President Biden also responded regarding, US giving out $450000 each to undocumented immigrants, during a white house press conference.
Senators are gearing up to pitch a similar plan to Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, who has already shot down two previous efforts to include immigration relief in the budget reconciliation package.
The latest text reflects changes lawmakers made. It includes the following.
Work permits for millions. Democrats are offering a temporary parole option — essentially a work permit — for close to 7 million undocumented immigrants who have lived in the country, at least since Jan. 1, 2011. That’s a significant portion of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. today. Those eligible would be protected from deportation and could receive a work permit.
Green card recapture. If passed as currently written, the bill could recover more than one million green cards previously authorized by Congress, that have gone unused since 1992.
Under the current draft bill, some employment-based green card applicants who have been waiting in the backlog for at least two years will be able to pay a $5,000 supplemental fee, to waive the annual and per-country limitations and become permanent residents more quickly, other wise they have to wait years — or even decades. Similarly, Family-based applicants who have been waiting at least two years, may apply to waive the limitations with a fee of $2,500 to become GreenCard holders.
The bill also aims to protect greencards for Diversity Visa winners, who were prevented from entering the U.S, during the previous administration’s various travel bans, Covid-related entry bans, and Embassy and consulate closures.
Child Tax Credit. Under the Trump administration, roughly one million children with undocumented parents were barred from receiving Covid-related financial assistance. The new bill proposes reversing the rule. These child tax credit is worth up to $3,600 for children under six, and up to $3,000 for children ages 6-17.
Temporary Parole. House Democrats revised version also includes plans, that would make undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. before 2011 eligible for temporary “parole” protections but this will not provide a pathway to citizenship.
