SECURE Act

This bill would let people from certain countries that have been designated as unsafe — those who were given temporary permission to stay in the United States because of dangerous conditions back home — apply for permanent residence (a green card). To qualify, a person must have lived in the U.S. continuously for at least three years, pass background checks, and meet other requirements, and their spouse, domestic partner, or children may also be eligible. While someone's application is being processed, they would be allowed to work and could not be deported, and the information in their application generally could not be used against them for immigration enforcement purposes.
