Democratic lawmakers are introducing President Biden’s immigration plan to Congress today. The legislation includes an eight-year path to citizenship for the nation’s 11 million undocumented immigrants. Some immigrants could face a shorter process, including farmworkers and recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and immigrants who have temporary protected status. In other news from Washington, D.C., Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Elizabeth Warren have criticized Biden for refusing to back a plan to cancel $50,000 in student debt.
