The Republican and the Democrat have come up with how to build a wall and legalize migrants

Two congressmen - a Republican and a Democrat - have prepared a bipartisan $10 billion proposal that would provide legal status to certain categories of immigrants at risk of deportation. In addition, the plan includes funding for border protection and the construction of a barrier along the southern US border.

Republican Tom Suozzi and Democrat Peter King laid out the key principles of a compromise document that will satisfy everyone. It implies both the construction of the wall, the legalization of immigrants, whose temporary protective status (TPS) expires, as well as young immigrants, known as "dreamers" (people illegally exported to the United States at a minor age), writes Newsday.

The bill will allow 4,3 billion dollars to be allocated for 700 miles (1126 kilometers) of “physical facilities” at the border, as well as 4,3 billion dollars to improve border technologies, personnel costs and other programs to prevent migration from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. Another 1,4 billion dollars will go to administrative expenses.

Suozzi says many immigrants "are trying their best, and in addition to the normal worries of life - school and work, family and health - they have to worry about being kicked out of the country," although no workable compromise is offered. “It drives me crazy when even people on my side propose idealistic solutions that will never be implemented.”

King said that people with different views should not be too far apart.

“I have always thought that we should find a way to help Dreamers and people with TPS; Tom [Suozzi] always wanted security. We realized we had to put it in the same bill,” King said. “Maybe we can be an example of two people who can move forward on a bipartisan path without sacrificing principles or ideology.”

According to the congressmen, the legalization plan, which will be officially presented in the coming weeks, will also affect immediate relatives of immigrants in these categories and can benefit about 5 millions of people across the country. To qualify for such a decision, immigrants must be law-abiding and pay an administrative fee of 2000 dollars, which will bring the necessary 10 billions of dollars to the budget.

The estimated 2017 of the year, immigrants who will benefit from the introduction of the bill, make up a significant part of the 10,7 millions that are in the country illegally.

Who can cover innovation? These numbers represent the latest results provided by the federal government on February 19 2019 for DACA (“Dreamers”) and for November 29 2018 for TPS.

"Dreamers"

The DACA program was introduced in June 2012 under President Barack Obama to protect young immigrants who entered the United States as minors from being deported. They are called "dreamers." In September 2017, the administration of President Trump announced the termination of the program. Close it did not give court: the case is still pending before the federal courts in New York, Maryland, Texas and Washington DC, so these immigrants are still protected by DACA.

• DACA coverage across the country: around 674 900 people
• DACA coverage in New York: around 32 000 people

Temporary protective status

Temporary protective status, or TPS, is provided by the national security secretary as a form of humanitarian assistance to countries that cannot cope with the return of their citizens due to armed conflict, environmental disasters, epidemics or other emergencies. The terms of these statuses for many expire. Trump administration announced termination of TPS in different countries where, in her opinion, conditions have since improved. TPS at different times received citizens of El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

• TPS coverage across the country: 417 341 people
• TPS coverage in New York: 51 475 man

TPS coverage by country of origin:

• El Salvador: 251 526 people
• Haiti: 56 209 people
• Honduras: 80 633 people
• Nepal: 14,596 people
• Nicaragua: 4 517 people
• Somalia: 463 people
• South Sudan: 83 people
• Sudan: 806 people
• Syria: 7 011 man
• Yemen: 1 497 people
