Florida US rep., bipartisan lawmakers introduce new ‘Dignity Act’ proposing legalization path for some migrants

UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – The DIGNITY Act offers a 7-year earned legal status to undocumented immigrants with requirements including background checks and restitution, affecting over 10 million workers nationwide.

  • On Tuesday, Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar and Rep. Veronica Escobar introduced the Dignity Act of 2025, the first serious bipartisan immigration solution in decades.
  • With migrant crossings at record lows this summer, Immigration and Customs Enforcement targets workplaces in agriculture and food service.
  • The bill creates the Dignity Program for longtime residents, includes restitution fees, and mandates nationwide E-Verify implementation.
  • Some stakeholders have pointed out that, while conservatives oppose any legal recognition of undocumented immigrants, progressive groups have already voiced concerns that mandatory E-Verify errors could hinder enforcement.
  • Revenue-Neutral funding uses participant restitution payments and payroll deductions, with levies depositing into the Immigration Infrastructure Fund to pay down at least $50 billion of U.S. national debt.
