Pass the Registry Bill to Secure Legal Status for Millions of Long-Term U.S. Residents
Pass the Registry Bill to Secure Legal Status for Millions of Long-Term U.S. Residents
The Issue
This one law could grant legal status to over 8 million undocumented immigrants who have lived in the U.S. for more than 7 years — and fix 90% of our broken immigration system, boost the economy, and bring stability to millions of American families.
🧾 What Is the Registry Bill?
The Renewing Immigration Provisions of the Immigration Act of 1929—also known as the Registry Bill—proposes a crucial update to U.S. immigration law.
📋 Eligibility Criteria:
To qualify under the proposed Registry Bill, applicants must:
Have lived continuously in the U.S. for at least 7 years
Be physically present in the U.S. at the time of application
Demonstrate good moral character
Have no disqualifying criminal history (such as serious felonies, national security risks, or certain immigration violations)
Not be otherwise inadmissible under existing U.S. immigration law
Qualify for a favorable discretionary review by immigration authorities
✅ This bill would NOT allow criminals or national security threats to gain legal status. It is specifically designed to help long-term, law-abiding community members finally come out of the shadows.
📣 Why Now?
We’re at a critical turning point for immigration justice. The Registry Bill has already been introduced in both the House and Senate. But without strong public support, it will stall like so many reforms before it.
📢 Let’s build momentum and make Congress act. The time for change is now.
✅ Sign Now to Support the Registry Bill:
🖊️ Your signature helps show lawmakers that Americans support real immigration reform—one that values families, essential workers, and long-term residents.
👉🏽 SIGN THE PETITION. SHARE IT. STAND UP FOR DIGNITY.
Let’s give people who’ve waited 7+ years the legal status they deserve.
🛠️ This change modernizes a long-neglected policy that hasn't been updated since 1986. It's a simple, humane fix with massive national impact.
Millions of long-term U.S. residents have built their lives here—raising families, working, paying taxes, and contributing to their communities—yet they live under constant uncertainty due to their lack of legal status. The "Renewing Immigration Provisions of the Immigration Act of 1929" would allow residents who have lived in the U.S. for at least seven years to apply for legal residency. This critical legislation could provide stability to millions of people who already call the U.S. home.
Legalizing undocumented individuals under this bill could generate approximately $83 billion annually for the U.S. economy and contribute about $27 billion in taxes. By bringing long-term residents out of the shadows, we can boost local economies, enhance workforce stability, and improve overall economic productivity.
Families, essential workers, caregivers, and small business owners who have been part of the fabric of American society for decades are directly impacted. These individuals remain in legal limbo, unable to access basic protections like healthcare, job security, or driver's licenses. They live with the daily fear of deportation and family separation. The passage of this bill would offer them the chance to live without fear and contribute fully to the U.S.
If this legislation does not pass, millions will remain vulnerable, their contributions to society and the economy undervalued. By passing the Registry Bill, Congress would ensure that these long-term residents are provided a fair opportunity to apply for legal status. This would strengthen local economies, increase tax revenue, and bring stability to communities. On the other hand, failure to act will continue the cycle of vulnerability for millions of residents and their families.
Immigration reform is urgently needed, and now is the time for Congress to make progress on this critical issue. The "Renewing Immigration Provisions of the Immigration Act of 1929" offers a long-overdue solution. After years of waiting, millions of families deserve a pathway to legal status. We cannot afford to delay any longer.
Sign this petition to urge Congress to pass the Registry Bill and bring justice to millions of immigrant families in the United States.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
