A bipartisan group of lawmakers in Congress reintroduced legislation on Thursday aimed at providing permanent residency protections to more than 250,000 young people known as “Documented Dreamers,” children of long-term visa holders who risk deportation when they turn 21 despite having grown up in the United States.
