Senator Angus King cosponsors a bill to expedite green card status for at-risk immigrant youth facing abuse or neglect.
Quiver AI Summary
The U.S. Senator Angus King (I-ME) has announced his cosponsorship of the "Protect Vulnerable Immigrant Youth Act" (S. 1965), which aims to streamline the process for young immigrants under 21 to obtain green card status after facing abandonment, abuse, or neglect. The legislation proposes to exempt these youth from the annual caps placed on employment-based visa applications, intending to reduce significant backlogs.
Senator King stated, "Navigating the immigration system... is often a lengthy, cumbersome process," emphasizing the need for legislative support to help vulnerable minors achieve residency. The bill is supported by several co-sponsors from across the political spectrum.
Established in 1990, the Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) allows for a pathway to permanent residency for children in difficult circumstances, but its current link to employment-based visas has caused delays. The proposed act seeks to rectify this by facilitating a more direct path to lawful residency.
