United States Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) introduced a bill to expand a pathway to permanency for millions of long-term U.S. residents including including Dreamers, forcibly displaced citizens (TPS holders), children of long-term visa holders who face deportation, essential workers, and H-1B visa holders who have been waiting years for a green card to become available.
