Today’s Action: Tell the House to protect Dreamers and TPS holders
18 months ago, Trump abruptly ended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which grants immigrants who came to our country as children the ability to remain in the place they call home. We fought Trump hard – and although we won the right for current DACA recipients to renew their status, no new applications are being accepted.
This means the door is currently closed to the millions of would-be recipients who had not yet applied, or who have arrived after September 2017.
There is one clear solution: our old friend, the Dream Act. And thanks to Democrats in the House, the Dream Act is back on the table.
The Dream and Promise Act of 2019 doesn’t just help Dreamers — it also protects Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, individuals who have been granted status to remain here while it is too dangerous to return home.
Trump has ended protections for about 300,000 TPS holders, many of whom face persecution or death should they be ejected from the United States. And – this sudden loss of status also means thousands of parents will be separated from their children, and spouses torn apart.
Trump has done everything in his power to rip apart immigrant families at every access point — and it’s up to us to fight back for reunification, blow by blow.
