Seven Republicans lawmakers broke ranks and joined 230 Democrats in voting for a bill that would grant amnesty to over two million illegal aliens.

The Americans Dream and Promise Act of 2019, which passed 237 to 187 on June 4, would provide opportunities to gain permanent residence status after 10 years to illegal immigrants who entered the United States as minors, such as DACA recipients, if they meet certain conditions.
