The ASSET Act, also known as Bill 118 hr 9149, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to address the issue of undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children, often referred to as Dreamers.The ASSET Act aims to provide a pathway to legal status and eventual citizenship for these individuals. It would allow Dreamers to apply for a special immigration status, which would grant them the ability to work and study in the US without fear of deportation. In order to qualify for this status, Dreamers would need to meet certain criteria, such as having arrived in the US before a certain age and having lived in the country for a certain number of years.
Additionally, the ASSET Act includes provisions to streamline the process for Dreamers to obtain legal status, such as waiving certain fees and requirements that can be barriers to obtaining legal status. The bill also includes measures to increase border security and crack down on human trafficking and drug smuggling. Overall, the ASSET Act is aimed at providing a solution for the millions of Dreamers who are currently living in the US without legal status. It seeks to balance the need for border security with the recognition of the contributions that Dreamers make to American society. The bill is currently being debated in Congress, and its ultimate fate remains uncertain.
