Eleven House Republicans Support Legal Status for Undocumented Immigrants

Reintroduction of Dignity Act marks rare bipartisan effort as White House doubles down on mass deportation

WASHINGTON — In a rare show of bipartisan defiance against the Trump administration’s hardline immigration agenda, a group of 10 House Republicans has joined Democrats in reintroducing the Dignity Act of 2025 — legislation that offers a long-awaited pathway to legal status for undocumented immigrants already living in the United States.

While President Trump pushes forward with sweeping enforcement policies under the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB) — including mass detention, visa fee hikes, and the elimination of bond hearings for undocumented people — the Dignity Act signals that some lawmakers still see space for compromise, dignity, and legislative solutions grounded in economic and moral reality.
