The House voted Tuesday to protect so-called Dreamers and establish a path to citizenship for more than 2 million immigrants without legal status.

The Democratic-led chamber passed the Dream and Promise Act in a largely party line 237-187 vote, with seven Republicans joining all Democrats in voting for the bill.

Supporters in the gallery broke out into cheers of "Sí se puede!" when the tally reached the necessary simple majority of 218 in favor.

"That was good," said Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), walking off the House floor.

The bill would grant permanent residency with a path to citizenship to more than 2 million immigrants across three categories: It would permanently protect from deportation Dreamers – immigrants who came to the country illegally as children – as well as certain recipients of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) programs.

3. I know it's unlikely, but please...

Let there be enough decent Republican senators to get this moving through the senate!

[pazzyanne]

6. I second your motion!

8. Zero chance. Even if the Senate passes it, Trump won't sign it. It's a political move.

So why not an impeachment bill?

9. Not gonna happen...

Turtle face won't even let the bill come up....most useless Senate in history...Nothing is getting done!

4. Si, se puede!

5. trump said send him a bill and he'd sign it. Here you go, donnie.

7. So they pass a bill that has no chance of being enacted as law, but not impeachment?

The argument for not paper impeaching is because the Senate won't impeach. But then they pass a bill that is 100% certain not to be passed by the Senate and signed by Trump?

10. So now it goes to McTurtle, who will use the bill to wipe his ass...

then flush it down the toilet.
