According to a new Fox News Poll, a record 83 percent of Americans now support a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants currently in the United States. This adds to the growing trend of voters who want Congress to prioritize passing legislation that allows undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children to become citizens if they meet certain requirements.

Our petition just reached 5,500 signatures! But the fight to pass the DREAM Act in the Senate continues. Your sustained pressure on both Republican and Democratic leaders in Congress will be critical to ensuring we pass this. Just yesterday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was feeling the heat from the left. More than 60 young people shut down her news conference on DACA chanting pro-immigration slogans: “All of us or none of us” and “We are not a bargaining chip.” Pelosi had organized the press event to urge the passage of the DREAM Act. But the group of undocumented youth who organized the protest called on the House Minority Leader to focus on a comprehensive approach to immigration reform, without giving concessions to Republicans. Yesterday’s protest is a good reminder that we must continue to urge lawmakers on both sides to secure the passage of the DREAM Act now!

BREAKING: Pelosi Says Trump Promised Her He’d Sign the DREAM Act

Publicado el por Marvin Gandis

Your voice is being heard loud and clear. President Trump is showing signs that he may be uneasy about his decision to phase out DACA. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said earlier today at a press conference that Trump told her on two occasions that he supports and would sign a bill to give legal status to young undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children: “We made it very clear in the course of the conversation that the priority was to pass the Dream Act. Obviously it has to be bipartisan. The president supports that, he would sign it. But we have to get it passed.” Democratic leaders in the House and Senate called for a vote on the DREAM Act in September as part of must-pass legislation on the congressional agenda this fall. They are prepared to attach the legislation to other bills until it passes. Momentum is growing in both parties. Now is the time to urge your members of Congress pass the bipartisan DREAM Act that will provide the 800,000 young people raised in our country the permanent solution they deserve. Share this update and ask your friends to sign this petition to Congress to protect our Dreamers.
