WASHINGTON—Seven Republicans joined 237 House Democrats late on June 4 in passing the American Dream and Promise Act of 2019, which critics claim provides amnesty and a path to citizenship for up to 4 million illegal immigrants, even as thousands more cross the U.S. southern border daily from Mexico.
Democrats hailed the measure, H.R. 6, even though it has virtually no chance of passage in the Republican-controlled Senate, and President Donald Trump would almost certainly veto it if it reached his desk.
