Senator Padilla Introduces Legislation that would Provide Protection to 8 Million Immigrants, including TPS and DACA Beneficiaries

U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) introduced legislation that would extend a pathway to permanency for millions of long-term U.S. residents.
The Renewing Immigration Provisions of the Immigration Act of 1929 would update the existing Registry statute so that an immigrant may qualify for lawful permanent resident status if they have lived in the U.S. continuously for at least seven years before filing an application for lawful permanent resident status and are of good moral character.
