Abstract
A bipartisan group of senators, led by Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), unveiled legislation, the so-called Bridge Act, that would extend key legal protections and work permits to certain young undocumented immigrants brought here as childrena status that's threatened by Donald Trump's campaign pledge to repeal President Barack Obama's executive actions to enact those benefits.
