DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act of 2023 is a House bill in Congress.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects immigrants without permanent status, employers, border communities, asylum seekers, farmworkers, seasonal employers, families waiting for visas, students, and federal immigration agencies. Some people could get new legal options. Others could face faster screening, stricter checks, or new paperwork. Employers would have new hiring duties through E-Verify.

Why this matters: This bill matters because it would change both border enforcement and legal immigration options in daily life. It could make border screening, hiring checks, and asylum processing more intense. It could also give some people already living and working in the U.S. a way to get a more stable status. The biggest risk is execution: the bill asks agencies to build many systems, meet tight deadlines, and handle sensitive data.

Key provisions in H.R. 3599

Homeland Security would have to add border barriers, roads, and surveillance tools in busy border areas. The department would also get broad power to waive legal rules to speed building and upkeep.
Customs and Border Protection would have to fly at least 95,000 air and marine hours each year. It would also have to run drones around the clock on the southern border and could hire contractors for more air support.
Homeland Security would have to meet specific staffing levels by September 30, 2025. The targets include 22,478 Border Patrol agents, 1,200 processing coordinators, 27,725 customs officers, 1,675 air and marine agents, 200 new K-9 units, and 500 intelligence staff, with a Government Accountability Office review if the targets are missed.
Employers nationwide would have to use E-Verify, the federal system that checks whether workers can legally work. The bill also adds penalties, audits, fraud controls, document rules, and identity checks.
The bill would create humanitarian campuses to process migrants and speed some asylum decisions. It would record key interviews, add asylum fraud penalties and filing deadlines, and tighten checks for unaccompanied children and their sponsors.
