Bipartisan DREAM Act reintroduced in the Senate
 
Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Thursday introduced the latest iteration of the Dream Act, part of a new immigration reform push.

The proposed legislation, first introduced in 2001, would give some young, undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children the opportunity to pursue a path toward American citizenship.

The reintroduction comes as President Joe Biden begins rolling out his immigration reform agenda and aims to reverse many of President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

In 2012, President Barack Obama created the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals program after the Dream Act failed to pass in Congress several times.

DACA protects the young undocumented immigrants who would be impacted by the Dream Act from deportation. The policy does not provide a path to citizenship.

Trump sought to end DACA during his presidency, but the Supreme Court blocked his administration’s attempt in June. On Jan. 20, Biden signed an executive order preserving DACA.

“It is clear that only legislation passed by Congress can give Dreamers the chance they deserve to earn their way to American citizenship,” Durbin said in a statement Thursday.

The Dream Act would grant some young, undocumented immigrants lawful permanent residence and eventually American citizenship if they meet certain criteria, including graduating from high school or earning a GED; pursuing higher education, working or serving in the military, and passing background checks.

The Dream Act of 2021 is identical to versions introduced by Durbin and Graham in the past two sessions of Congress, the senators say.

Graham indicated in a statement Thursday he would like to pass the Dream Act not as a standalone bill, but rather as part of a comprehensive immigration package.

“I believe it will be a starting point for us to find bipartisan breakthroughs providing relief to the Dreamers and also repairing a broken immigration system,” Graham said.

In the last 15 years, Congress has not passed a comprehensive immigration bill.

About three-quarters of Americans support granting permanent legal status to undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children, according to a June Pew Research Center survey.

There are several threads on this already.

The bill is just the base starting point.

Yeah this comment caught me off guard.

He knows the GOP won't go beyond DREAM ACT, so why is he saying he won't accept a piece meal approach?

I hope he is with us at the end.

Keep it simple!

Requirements to Qualify
Applicants of the proposed bill would have to meet the following requirements to qualify for conditional permanent resident status:

Through documentation described in the bill, establish that they were brought to the U.S. at age 17 or younger and have lived continuously in the U.S. for at least four years prior to the bill’s enactment;

Pass a government background check, demonstrate “good moral character” with no felony or multiple misdemeanor convictions, submit biometric and biographic data, and undergo a biometric and medical exam;

Demonstrate they have been admitted to a college or university, have earned a high school diploma, or are in the process of earning a high school diploma or an equivalent; and

Pay an application fee.

The bill would automatically grant conditional permanent resident status to DACA recipients who still meet the requirements needed to obtain DACA.

Conditional permanent resident status can be changed to lawful permanent resident (LPRs or green-card holder) status as soon as they meet the following conditions:

Maintain continuous residence in the U.S.;

Complete one of the following three requirements:

Graduate from a college or university, or complete at least two years of a bachelor’s or higher degree program in the U.S. (education track);

Complete at least two years of honorable military service (military track); or

Have worked for a period totaling at least three years (worker track);

Demonstrate an ability to read, write and speak English and an understanding of American history, principles and form of government;

Pass a government background check, continue to demonstrate “good moral character” without felony or multiple misdemeanor convictions, submit biometric and biographic data, and undergo a biometric and medical exam; and

Pay an application fee.

Re: Bipartisan DREAM Act reintroduced in the Senate
 
Also, on the first part, those currently without DACA. They HAVE to be or going into college? Like they can’t just have diploma and still qualify if they choose not to go to college??

BeignOf Crap is going to crap his diapers since he doesn't believe in higher education, LOL.

Let's see how you all like it when the relief bill starts categorizing "desirable dreamers" over other dreamers like some of you all have been categorizing certain immigrants as better or more worthy of relief than others. Didn't go to college? Too bad, son.

heh. i would qualify as a "desirable dreamer" with multiple degrees and being an essential worker. thats why i wanted the Dems to attach legalization for essential worker dreamers so bad in the covid-19 bill plus our $1400... but i ain't gonna sh*t on other Dreamers, bro.

mfers on here for real with the entitlement.. smh lol

I appreciate Durbins efforts to pass the Dream Act but after it originally failed 20yrs ago I wish they would have immediately tried to push through a removal of the 3/10 yr ban for childhood arrivals. I think something small like that may have had a better chance and could have been snuck into other legislation and would have helped out great many of us.

Honestly you could sneak something like "8 USC 1259 (a) is amended by striking '1972' and inserting '2020'" into basically any bill, especially if you hide it in technical amendments to things like the Tax Code, nobody would fucking read this shit this closely. You could be even cheekier and change 19 to 20 and 72 to 20 in two different sections so it doesn't look like you're messing with a date.

Honestly at this point I think it's just a lack of will rather than lack of means.

Why are people even surprised....UWD is going to wage a massive war against Dream Act. This is literally a threat to their existence. They do not want anything to pass.

IMO the real solution forward is immediate piecemeal legislation for Dreamers and then move on to CIR.

A magnificient deal can be reached if we keep the radical right wingers (Cotton and Co.) and the radical left (Omar, UWD etc...) out of the negotations!
bro, they shouldve started with essential workers that are dreamers on the covid-19 bill with the $1400.. the dems were such pussies by not adding it. thats what pissed me off.

It's not about them being pussies. Its most likely that they just can't let go of it....and UWD is going to try their level best to capitalize on this weakness believe me..they are going to take this to the last minute. The only person I trust is Joey, he is the only one who can tell his party enough is enough and get something passed for Dreamers asap.

especially when it just passed the Senate 51-50 w/zero GOP support. Like, why compromise bills if you're going to get zero votes anyway?
