DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act of 2025

This bill deals with many immigration topics. It would raise pay for U.S. Border Patrol agents, create a path for certain people living in the country without legal status — including childhood arrivals known as DACA recipients — to eventually become lawful permanent residents, and set up a program called the Dignity Program that lets eligible people without legal status stay in the country for seven years (with the option to renew) if they meet work or education requirements, pay restitution, and follow other rules. The bill also increases penalties for people who try to re-enter the country after being removed, requires all U.S. employers to use a new electronic system to check whether workers are eligible for employment, allows DNA testing to confirm family relationships of immigrants, and sets up border facilities to process asylum seekers. It also raises the limits on how many family-sponsored and employment-based visas can go to people from any single country.
