Congress must act now and pass legislation, like the bipartisan, bicameral Dream Act (S. 1615/H.R. 3440), to protect Dreamers from deportation. The President’s decision to end DACA has endangered the lives of nearly 800,000 Dreamers, who were brought to this country as children. These young people are integral to our country, communities, and economy.
Americans have shown overwhelming support for protecting Dreamers, and there is increasing pressure on the President and Congress to reach across the aisle and pass a permanent legislative solution. Help AILA keep the pressure on by telling Congress to act now on legislation to protect Dreamers. Take Action today.
The Dream Act is a bipartisan bill that would protect young people who were brought to this country as children and grew up in the U.S., known as Dreamers, from deportation. It would provide them a chance to apply for lawful permanent residence, and eventually citizenship, if they meet certain requirements.
The Dream Act has been introduced in both the Senate (S. 1615) and House (H.R. 3440) by Republican and Democratic members. Now Congress needs to vote and pass this legislation.
If Congress does not act, nearly 800,000 Dreamers who were protected by DACA will be at risk of being deported. Please call your member of Congress today.
