US Lawmakers Propose Dignity Act for Undocumented Immigrants
The Dignity Act, proposed by U.S. lawmakers, offers a 7-year program for undocumented immigrants.
To join, people must have been in the U.S. since 2020 and follow all laws.
They'll get to work legally and won't be deported if they keep to the rules.
A key part is paying $7,000 over the seven years to help American workers.
After the program, they can apply for a Dignity Status, letting them stay as long as they keep following the law.
