We Need the Dream and Promise Act Now!
On June 18, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the Trump administration’s attempt to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). While we celebrate that decision, it’s not enough. The decision still leaves open the possibility for the Trump administration to end DACA in the future. To really protect DACA recipients, we need Congress to act.
The House of Representatives already passed the Dream & Promise Act, which would protect DACA recipients and TPS holders by giving them a way to become permanent residents and access a pathway to citizenship.
- Dreamers are immigrant young people brought to the U.S. as children. Many are now young adults. They are kept from fully participating in U.S. society due to their undocumented status and are at risk of deportation.
- Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders are migrants who have lived legally in the U.S. for decades due to armed conflict, environmental disaster, or other situations in their countries of origin that prevent safe return. They have built lives, families, businesses, and futures here and yet, their ability to remain in the U.S. is threatened with expiration.
An overwhelming majority of people in the United States—both Democrats and Republicans—support Dreamers. If the Senate voted, it would probably pass, but Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is blocking it. He will not allow the Senate to discuss, debate, or vote on the Dream and Promise Act.
