English
The term “DREAMers” refers to the young men and women who were brought to the United States by their parents when they were children or teens and who do not have lawful immigration status in the U.S.
In 2012, former President Barack Obama signed an executive order that provided DREAMers relief from deportation. The executive order was called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (commonly called DACA).
Obama’s order allowed the undocumented youth to receive work permits. As a result, hundreds of thousands of undocumented youth came out of the shadows and applied for the program. According to the USCIS, nearly 800,000 undocumented youth have applied for and received DACA protections.
Former President Donald Trump rescinded the program in September 2017, but he was stopped by the Federal Courts.
But if DACA recipients are called DREAMers, what’s the DREAM Act?
