Problem Solvers Caucus Endorses the Dignity Act

May 12, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Problem Solvers Caucus today endorsed the Dignity Act (H.R. 4393), marking a major step forward for the legislation and underscoring its growing support in Congress.

The endorsement adds new weight to the bill’s standing, brings a new block of support, and signals increased focus on a proposal that can realistically move forward. At a time when immigration reform remains unresolved, the Dignity Act is pioneering a credible path forward.

Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) emphasized the significance of the endorsement and the progress it represents.

“Real solutions are built by bringing people together and doing the work across the aisle,” said Rep. Salazar. “The endorsement from the Problem Solvers Caucus marks a major step forward and reflects a shared commitment to practical, bipartisan solutions. The Dignity Act remains the most serious and viable path forward to addressing our immigration crisis: one that secures the border, restores accountability, prioritizes American workers, and strengthens our economy. The American people are demanding results, and we are making progress in delivering them.”

“It is beyond time Congress delivers practical reforms to our broken immigration system, and this endorsement shows the bipartisan consensus that the status quo is simply not acceptable anymore,” said Rep Scholten. “The Dignity Act is a serious, comprehensive solution that would restore order at the border, fix a flawed asylum system, and create an accountable, earned pathway for people who have been here for years. It also takes on the real workforce challenges I hear about every day from employers across West Michigan. I’m focused on getting it across the finish line and signed into law, and I’m grateful to see its support continue to grow.”

“America is a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants—not one or the other, but both. That principle has guided our work on immigration reform, and it is the standard any serious solution must meet. For too long, Washington has turned a broken system into a political weapon. The Dignity Act offers a responsible bipartisan path forward: securing the border, restoring order, protecting American workers, and ensuring legal status is earned through accountability and respect for the law. This is not amnesty; it is common sense, compassion, and the rule of law working together. The American people know this problem can be solved. Now it is time for Congress to finally get it done,” said Problem Solvers Caucus Co-Chair Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01)

“For too long, politicians on both sides have used immigration as a political weapon, pointing fingers instead of solving the problem. I’ve long fought for comprehensive, bipartisan legislation that secures our border, fixes our broken asylum system, and legalizes people who have been here for years, committing no crimes and contributing to our communities,” said Problem Solvers Caucus Co-Chair Congressman Tom Suozzi (NY-03). “We can secure our border and treat people like human beings. We can deport violent criminals and give hard-working families a fair shot. We can enforce our laws and uphold core American values of freedom and opportunity. The American people are tired of the excuses and political games. They want leaders to come together and finally get this done.”

The Problem Solvers Caucus is a bipartisan group of serious lawmakers focused on advancing legislation that can earn support from both parties and move through Congress. Its endorsement signals that the Dignity Act meets that standard and is positioned to advance.

In recent months, the Dignity Act has drawn sustained attention from policymakers, employers, and community leaders seeking a workable solution. As that engagement has broadened, the bill has taken on a more prominent role in shaping the next phase of the immigration debate.

A NATIONAL MOVEMENT GAINING MOMENTUM

Building on that momentum, Rep. María Elvira Salazar and bipartisan Members of Congress recently launched the Dignity Coalition, a historic alliance uniting employers, farmers, faith leaders, educators, veterans and advocates to advance the only serious, bipartisan solution to fix America’s broken immigration system and help turn growing national support into legislative action.
