The Judiciary Committee recently held a hearing to discuss the American Dream and Promise
Act of 2021, which would provide a pathway to citizenship for an estimated 4.4 million illegal
immigrants. As you knew when scheduling the hearing, there is no clear and politically viable
path forward for such legislation in Congress.

This is such classic Republican bullshit and the people on here who support it don't see it. They want to kill the Dream Act, the only reasonable way to deal with Dreamers while dangling the carrot of only helping the randomly chosen 900 million dreamers who have DACA. This is disingenuous.
The first thing it does is create "real dreamers with DACA" vs. "2nd class dreamers who didn't fit the arbitrary age requirements". I'm sure the people on here who fall in the first group will give no 2nd thought at the chance at a green card and would step on their own mothers neck along with the other dreams to get it but even that is a foolish notion because Republicans have absolutely no intention of going through with giving green cards to just the "real dreamers".
Read between the lines, they look at all of us as illegals. Their goal is to convince Democrats to raise the requirements of who is a deserving dreamer, waste another 8 months, and as soon as Democrats believe them and cave in order to at least give something to DACA recipients, they will pull the football away Charlie Brown style and at the end, not only will nobody get a green card, but the definition of a Dreamer is reduced to just DACA recipients.
