The Dignity Act of 2025, co-sponsored by Reps. Maria Salazar (R-FL) and Veronica Escobar (D-TX) would grant legal status to certain illegal migrants.
The proposed legislation comes amid President Donald Trump's mass deportation policies, which have threatened farms and the service industry in particular, as immigration raids target illegal workers.
The resulting labor shortages have sparked concern among agricultural employers, prompting some Republicans to seek compromise solutions that strike a balance between enforcement and economic needs.
