American Promise Act
Section 1104 of the bill would provide LPR status for aliens who have been in the U.S. since Jan. 1, 2017, and had or were eligible for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) or Deferred Enforced Departure (DED).
I don’t understand why Biden included a TPS legalization provision in his bill. A single Republican can prevent a bill with a TPS legalization program from being considered in the Senate with a point of order objection pointing out that it violates the TPS statutory provision, INA §1254a(h). That provision requires an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senate to consider a bill that provides lawful temporary or permanent resident alien status for any alien who has TPS status — or that has the effect of amending or limiting the application of this subsection.
