Congress to Trump: Yes to removing criminals, no to mass deportations


Many in Congress, both Republicans and Democrats, oppose mass deportation and could find common ground in updating Section 249 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), also known as the registry provision. Shifting its cutoff date from January 1, 1972, to January 1, 2010, would allow long-term immigrants who have established roots in the U.S. to apply for legal status. 

Updating the registry provision cutoff date to January 1, 2010, under Section 249 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), would allow certain undocumented immigrants to apply for lawful permanent residency (a green card) if they meet specific eligibility criteria.

  1. Entry Before the Cutoff Date: They must show that they entered the United States on or before January 1, 2010, even if they entered without inspection or overstayed a visa.
