FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW
*
This
week,
the
U.S.
House
of
Representatives
is
considering
a
bill
that
would
allow
undocumented
immigrants
to
apply
for
legal
status
after
living
in
the
country
for
seven
years.


The
new
bill
would
create
a
rolling
registry
for
undocumented
immigrants
who
have
resided
in
the
United
States
for
at
least
seven
years
to
register
with
the
government
for
a
green
card.


Congress
created
the
original
registry
in
1929,
but
the
eligibility
date
hasn't
been
updated
since
1986.
The
only
immigrants
who
can
currently
get
a
green
card
through
the
registry
would
have
had
to
enter
the
country
in
1972.


This
fact
sheet
from
the
American
Immigration
Council
explains
the
history
of
the
registry,
who
is
currently
eligible,
and
who
may
benefit
from
an
updated
version.

ACROSS THE NATION
*
The
American
Immigration
Council
joined
a
letter
signed
by
156
organizations
calling
on
the
Department
of
Homeland
Security
to
take
concrete
steps
to
protect
the
right
to
abortion
after
the
U.S.
Supreme
Court's
decision
in
Dobbs.


The
letter
calls
on
DHS
to
protect
the
right
to
an
abortion
for
individuals
held
in
DHS
custody.
It
also
advocates
for
instructing
Border
Patrol
not
to
prevent
undocumented
individuals
from
traveling
through
a
checkpoint
if
they
are
seeking
medical
treatment
for
reproductive
health
care
such
as
an
abortion.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"At stake in this case is a fundamental question; can a president choose who to target for deportation? For generations, the answer was yes. The Supreme Court repeatedly reaffirmed this point. But now that discretion is at risk of being stripped away."
– Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, policy director at the American Immigration Council [[link removed]]
