Who this affects: S2606 primarily affects noncitizens who have lived in the U.S. for at least seven years and meet certain moral and security criteria. It also impacts their families and communities.
Why this matters: S2606 is significant because it addresses the outdated immigration registry provision, potentially allowing millions of long-term residents to gain legal status.
