Gee, that's a big document. I wonder if anyone will read it?
The first link says the Bridge Act. But this says Bridge Act was sidelined.

This new bill has its own name, Funding America's Security Act, or something like that.
The Bridge Act: The revised BRIDGE (Bar Removal of Individuals who Dream and Grow ourEconomy) Act would allow foreign nationals who grew up in the United States and are enrolled inthe Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) program to receive temporary (three -year),“provisional protected presence” and employment authorization. The updated BRIDGE Act ismodeled after legislation that was introduced in the 114th and 115th Congresses. Those who are
eligible
for this program are persons who:
- Were born after June 15, 1981;
- Entered the United States before 16 years of age;
- Continually resided in US between June 15, 2007 and their application for the program;
- Were physically present in US on June 15, 2012;
- Were unlawfully present in the US on June 15, 2012;
- Were enrolled in school at the time of the application, graduated high school or equivalent
or an honorably discharged veteran;- Have not been convicted of felony, a significant misdemeanor, or three or more
misdemeanors;- Do not pose a threat to national security or public safety; and,
- Are currently enrolled in good standing in DACA.
Temporary Protected Status (TPS): TPS is a protection granted to nationals of specificallydesignated countries that face an armed conflict, environmental disaster, or other extraordinary andtemporary condition. As of August 2017, an estimated 325,000 TPS recipients lived in the UnitedStates. More than 90 percent of individuals with TPS are nationals of El Salvador (195,000),Honduras (57,000), or Haiti (50,000). This legislation would grant temporary (3-year) “provisionalprotected presence” and employment authorization to individuals who:
- Are physically present in the United States when they apply for the program;
- Had received TPS and remained lawfully in such status until it was terminated pursuant to
statute;- Register with the government, pass security and law enforcement background checks, and
pay a reasonable application fee;- Have not committed a felony or other serious crime and do not pose a threat to our
country; and- Have continually resided in the United States since January 1, 2011.
In-Country Asylum: To address the humanitarian crisis of unaccompanied alien children (UACs),Democrats have proposed in-country asylum processing for Central American Minors. This wouldrequire a statutory change, along with reallocation of State Department funds to establish in-countryprocessing capacities at Northern Triangle consulates and embassies. For the new procedure toachieve the desired humanitarian result, a further corresponding statutory change would be requiredto ensure that those who circumvent the process and come to the United States withoutauthorization can be promptly returned home. Without the latter change, in-country processing willnot reduce the unauthorized flow or successfully mitigate the humanitarian crisis.
I just glanced at the second one, the 1300 page one and it is for all 9 Departments, that's why it's so many pages, also big type and lots of spacing.Quote:
