In the face of President Trump’s decision to rescind DACA and leave the lives of nearly 800,000 immigrant youth in limbo, we have been calling on Congress to pass a clean Dream Act. But what does it mean for this bill to be clean?
A clean Dream Act entails a permanent solution for Dreamers WITHOUT added immigration enforcement or criminalization such as new detention centers, more ICE raids, methods to undermine immigrants’ ability to work and pay taxes, or additional surveillance in border states.
For the sake of Dreamers’ livelihoods and safety, we need Congress to pass a clean Dream Act before this year ends — not a bill that will use undocumented youth as bargaining chips for additionally harmful immigration policies.
Thanks for standing with us.
