Plain-English Summary

This legislation would allow certain immigrants who worked at or near the World Trade Center, Pentagon, or other sites affected by the September 11 attacks to obtain legal status and work authorization in the United States. The bill recognizes the contributions of these workers—many of whom were undocumented at the time—who helped with rescue and recovery efforts following the terrorist attacks. Eligible immigrants would gain a pathway to remain and work legally in the country without fear of deportation.
