American Dream and Promise Act of 2025
3/18/2025, 2:10 PMSummary of Bill HR 1589
Bill 119 HR 1589, also known as the "DREAM Act," aims to provide a pathway to legal status for certain undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children. The bill would authorize the cancellation of removal and adjustment of status for these individuals, allowing them to stay in the country legally and potentially become eligible for citizenship.The DREAM Act has been a contentious issue in Congress for many years, with supporters arguing that these individuals, often referred to as "Dreamers," should not be punished for the actions of their parents and should be given the opportunity to contribute to society. Opponents, on the other hand, argue that providing a pathway to legal status for undocumented immigrants encourages illegal immigration and undermines the rule of law.
If passed, the DREAM Act would provide relief for an estimated 2.5 million undocumented immigrants who meet certain criteria, such as having arrived in the US before the age of 18, having lived in the country for a certain number of years, and having a clean criminal record. These individuals would be able to apply for a temporary legal status, which could eventually lead to permanent residency and citizenship. Supporters of the bill argue that it is a compassionate and pragmatic solution to a complex issue, while opponents argue that it rewards illegal behavior and undermines the integrity of the US immigration system. The fate of the DREAM Act remains uncertain, as it continues to be a divisive issue in Congress.
