WASHINGTON, D.C. – The bipartisan Dignity Act, also known as H.R. 3599, is gaining significant support in the House of Representatives as it aims to address the pressing issue of immigration reform. Spearheaded by Representatives Salazar and Escobar, this historic bill has garnered attention for its comprehensive approach to fixing the broken immigration system in the United States.

With a focus on stopping illegal immigration and providing a dignified solution for undocumented immigrants living in America, the Dignity Act has attracted bipartisan support. It also aims to strengthen the American workforce, foster economic growth, and ensure the long-term prosperity and competitiveness of the United States.

Representative Salazar emphasized the urgency of the matter, stating, "The Dignity Act is the only bipartisan immigration solution in Congress and with record border crossings last month, both parties know we need to act now." He further highlighted the bill as the ultimate solution to address all immigration problems once and for all.

The Dignity Act has already gained significant traction, with 25 sponsors and cosponsors backing the bill. These include Representatives María Elvira Salazar from Florida, Veronica Escobar from Texas, Jenniffer González Colon from Puerto Rico, and many others from different states across the country.

Additionally, more than 50 organizations have expressed their support for the Dignity Act. These endorsements come from a wide range of stakeholders, including the Agriculture Workforce Coalition, American Immigration Lawyers Association, U.S. Hispanic Business Council, TechNet, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and World Relief, among others.

The support from these organizations demonstrates the diverse and widespread recognition of the importance of comprehensive immigration reform. By addressing the needs of various sectors and communities, the Dignity Act aims to create a more equitable and just immigration system.

The Dignity Act has been commended for its potential to bring about positive change. The American Families United, for example, stated, "We fully endorse the Dignity Act as it provides a compassionate and practical approach to immigration reform that benefits both undocumented immigrants and the American society as a whole."

As the Dignity Act continues to gain support and momentum, it offers a glimmer of hope for those seeking a fair and effective solution to the immigration challenges in the United States. By bringing together bipartisan efforts and the backing of various stakeholders, this bill has the potential to bring about meaningful change and address the pressing issues within the immigration system.
