The House has passed legislation 237-187 that would grant citizenship to an estimated 2.5 million undocumented immigrants, in a largely party-line vote.
"America's Dreamers represent the constant reinvigoration of our country. Today, the House will pass the American Dream [and] Promise Act-an historic step for immigrants and communities across America," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., tweeted Tuesday.
"As the House passes the Dream and Promise Act today, we are taking a stand for these patriotic, inspiring young Americans."
"House Democrats are about to pass a massive amnesty bill for illegal aliens that will significantly contribute to the crisis that we're experiencing on our border," he said.
The Dream and Promise Act would also prioritize citizenship for illegal immigrants over legal immigrants.
"Whereas most legal immigrants are granted green cards on a discretionary basis, H.R. 6 mandates issuance of a green card to eligible illegal immigrants who receive a waiver, or meet its lax requirements," Scalise's summary states.
"The fact that Democrats today are more willing to spend $34 billion to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants instead of attacking the underlying problem of border security shows just how out of touch they have become," Jessica Anderson, vice president of Heritage Action for America, the lobbying affiliate of The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal in an email.
