Washington, Mar 18 (EFE/EPA).- The US House of Representatives on Thursday once again approved an immigration bill seeking to regularize the status of millions of young undocumented migrants known as "Dreamers" and to provide benefits under the Temporary Protected Status program to hundreds of thousands of foreigners living in this country The bill was approved in a 228-197 vote with all Democrats and nine Republican lawmakers voting in favor. According to estimates by its sponsors, some 2.5 million young people who were brought to this country as small children by their parents - the so-called Dreamers - could benefit under the bill which establishes a path to citizenship.
