U.S. Citizenship Act

The U.S. Citizenship Act, also known as Bill 118 hr 3194, is a comprehensive piece of legislation introduced in the United States Congress.

Key provisions of the U.S. Citizenship Act include:

1. Pathway to Citizenship: The bill outlines a process for undocumented immigrants to apply for legal status and eventually become U.S. citizens. This pathway includes meeting certain eligibility requirements, such as passing background checks and paying taxes. 2. Dreamers and TPS Holders: The bill includes provisions to protect Dreamers (young immigrants brought to the U.S. as children) and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, allowing them to apply for permanent residency and eventually citizenship. 3. Border Security: The U.S. Citizenship Act also addresses border security by implementing new technology and infrastructure to enhance border surveillance and enforcement. 4. Family Reunification: The bill prioritizes family reunification by reducing visa backlogs and streamlining the process for family members of U.S. citizens and permanent residents to immigrate to the United States. 5. Employment-Based Immigration: The bill aims to modernize the employment-based immigration system by eliminating per-country caps and expanding visa opportunities for highly skilled workers. Overall, the U.S. Citizenship Act seeks to create a more fair and efficient immigration system that upholds American values of inclusivity and opportunity. The bill has garnered support from both Democrats and Republicans, although it faces challenges in Congress as lawmakers debate the specifics of the legislation.
