Occurrences
Evidence
Congress.gov shows the bill's latest action as a July 15, 2025 referral to multiple House committees and says the bill's status is Introduced. There is no House or Senate passage on the record.
Rep. Salazar's official site says the GROW Coalition endorsed the DIGNITY Act and argued the immigration system is hurting the ability to retain scientists, engineers, and innovators. This is advocacy momentum, not legislative enactment.
Assessments
The DIGNITY Act reflects a real legislative attempt by Salazar to create a pathway for Dreamers and certain undocumented immigrants, but the bill remained introduced and had not passed either chamber. That means the promise has not been delivered, but the record does not support calling it a final failure yet.
