Latest action on H.R. 1348: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Who this affects: This bill directly affects Venezuelan nationals living in the U.S. who arrived before 2022, along with their immediate family members. It also affects immigration agencies that must process applications and enforce new rules. The broader immigration system is affected because it creates a separate pathway that does not reduce visa availability for other groups.
Why this matters: Many Venezuelan nationals have lived in the U.S. for years without a permanent legal status. This bill would give them stability, the right to work legally, and a clear future in the country. It also raises broader questions about how the U.S. handles long-term residents from countries in crisis and whether nationality-specific programs are the right approach.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
