A Texas member of the conservative Freedom Caucus on Tuesday became the 200th House member to endorse the DREAM Act, a bipartisan measure to protect from deportation people brought to the country illegally as children.

Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) signed on to the bill, first proposed in the House by Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) and Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Calif.), which Democrats are pushing as a replacement for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
