'Were willing to put their lives on the line': House Democrats reintroduce bill that would block deportation of military veterans. dailykos.com/story/2021/3/8…
“The package also calls for the Department of Defense (DOD) and DHS to jointly establish a program to ensure members of the Armed Services and their spouses and children have a pathway to citizenship”: vargas.house.gov/media-center/p…
