Promoting his bill introduced Monday, called the Protect Patriot Parents Act, Carbajal on Tuesday said in a Zoom conference that the parents of U.S. citizens who honorably serve their country should be granted permanent residency. The lawmaker had previously introduced the bill in 2019, but was unsuccessful. He said that the new Biden Administration and a Democratic-controlled Congress gives him confidence that the new bill which includes a welcome home clause that would grant temporary residency to immigrants during case proceedings will receive majority support.
