House Democrats are moving ahead with a key bill to offer protections for so-called Dreamers
after largely settling an intraparty squabble over citizenship rights for people with criminal records.
The legislation would provide a pathway to citizenship for more than 2 million undocumented people who came to the country as children — a key priority for Democrats who ran in 2018 as a counterweight to President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. Lofgren, who is also an immigration policy specialist, won over many of the centrist holdouts at a meeting Tuesday night with more than a dozen members of the Blue Dog Coalition.
“I would have preferred it to be a little more forgiving for people who have made mistakes,” added Correa added, who said he would ultimately support the bill.
