Bill > S3348

This bill provides a pathway to legal permanent residence for certain undocumented immigrants who entered the United States as children, commonly known as "Dreamers." Specifically, the bill would allow individuals who meet specific requirements to obtain conditional permanent resident status, including being continuously physically present in the U.S. for at least four years, having entered the country before turning 18, and meeting certain educational, military service, or employment criteria. Applicants must also pass background checks, have no significant criminal history, and resolve any federal tax liabilities. The conditional status would be valid for eight years, during which time individuals must either complete two years of college, serve in the military, or work for at least three years. After meeting these requirements, individuals can have the conditional status removed and become full permanent residents. The bill includes protections for applicants, such as preventing their information from being used for immigration enforcement, and provides fee waivers for those with limited financial means. Additionally, the bill offers a special provision for DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipients and includes humanitarian exemptions for those with disabilities or facing extreme hardship. The legislation aims to provide a comprehensive solution for young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children.
