Part 7/7:
The reintroduction of the Dignity Bill highlights ongoing tensions in American immigration policy. While it aims to offer those who have lived in the country for years a legal status that respects their dignity, critics warn that it could open the door to broader amnesty and undermine the principles of lawful immigration. As debates continue, the core questions remain: Should legal status be a matter of paying a fee, or is full citizenship—embracing rights and responsibilities—the only justified outcome? The outcome of this legislation could significantly influence the future landscape of American immigration policy and national sovereignty.
