DIGNITY Act Secures 35 Cosponsors as Bipartisan Support Accelerates
WASHINGTON, D.C. – With immigration back at the center of the national conversation, the DIGNITY Act of 2025 (H.R. 4393), introduced by Reps. María Elvira Salazar and Veronica Escobar, continues to build momentum in Congress and gain support nationwide. The legislation has recently added four new bipartisan cosponsors, strengthening support for the only serious immigration reform proposal currently before Congress.
The newest cosponsors Rep. Nick LaLota (R-NY-1), Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX-28), Rep. Neal Dunn (R-FL-2), and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA-6), join a growing bipartisan group of Members of Congress supporting the DIGNITY Act. That support is reinforced by a broad national coalition of employers, faith leaders, and community organizations.
Today, 60 national organizations back the legislation, making it the most widely endorsed immigration reform proposal in decades.
The Dignity Act continues to be the only viable, bipartisan immigration reform bill proposed in Congress that will fully fix our immigration system and directly address the chaos we are seeing today.
"This moment demands action, and I’m encouraged to see growing support from my colleagues in Congress,” said Rep. María Elvira Salazar. “The DIGNITY Act modernizes our immigration system so enforcement is effective, targeted, and consistent with our values. It fixes what isn’t working, refocuses ICE on real threats, and establishes a tough, earned process for hard-working people who have lived here and contributed. It is not citizenship. It is not amnesty. It is dignity."
The DIGNITY Act is a serious, bipartisan solution that:
- Codifies and strengthens border security by increasing personnel, enforcing mandatory E-Verify, and restoring real operational control.
- Protects American workers by ending illegal labor practices and establishing the American Worker Fund to retrain and upskill U.S. workers for higher-paying jobs.
- Modernizes enforcement and accountability through the Dignity Program, a strict, earned process requiring long-term undocumented individuals with clean records to pass background checks, pay restitution, and earn legal status without citizenship or amnesty.
- Supports American businesses by addressing labor shortages, boosting productivity, and providing a lawful, reliable workforce.
