Since he became President, Donald Trump has been working hard to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The DACA program was established in 2012 under President Obama and allows eligible young immigrants who came to the U.S. as children to receive a work permit and be protected from deportation. Trump has said that he wants to end the program and recently announced that he is giving Congress six months to come up with a solution before he will end the program. Trump has also said that he would be open to signing a law that would allow Dreamers to stay in the U.S. if it includes funding for his proposed border wall.
The President has the power to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program with a stroke of a pen, however, doing so could lead to legal challenges. Trump could also direct Congress to defund the program, which would likely prompt a battle with lawmakers.
Will the dream act ever be passed?
The DREAM Act is a piece of legislation that would provide a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children. The bill has been reintroduced in each Congress since 2001, but has never passed both chambers of Congress. In 2021, the DREAM Act has passed in the House of Representatives, where the Democrats control the majority. It is unclear if the bill will pass in the Senate, where the Republicans have a slim majority.
The DACA program has allowed many young people who were brought to the United States as children to stay in the country and work legally. If the program ended or renewals were restricted, these young people would lose their work authorization and all of the privileges that come with it, like being able to drive their kids to school or take family members to doctor’s appointments. This would make their lives very difficult and could force them to leave the country.
Who would benefit from the Dream Act
The Dream Act is a proposed law that would provide a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children. The Dream Act would also provide a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who have graduated from high school or have obtained a GED. The Dream Act would provide a way for these immigrants to become citizens through college, work, or the armed services.
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was created by the Obama administration in 2012 and terminated by the Trump administration in 2017. DACA allowed certain undocumented immigrants who had arrived in the United States as children to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and to be eligible for a work permit.
What will happen to DACA in 2023?
The current status of DACA is that DHS has announced a final rule to continue the DACA program under the current policy. This policy went into effect on October 31, 2022. This rule means there are no changes for current DACA recipients and their ability to renew.
If you have DACA, you can leave the United States, but only if you have received travel authorization. This is also known as advance parole. Advance parole will let you go outside the United States if you have a good reason to do so.
Is DACA going to the Supreme Court?
The Supreme Court has announced its ruling on DACA, and in doing so, has given a critical win for DACA recipients and all of America. The justices agreed with the lower courts and ruled that the Trump Administration broke the law when it ended DACA. The Supreme Court has reinstated the full 2012 DACA policy. This is a huge victory for the millions of young people who rely on DACA to live and work in the United States.
The Dream Act would be a huge step forward for immigrants in the United States. It would provide permanent protection for those who came to the United States as children, but are vulnerable to deportation. This would be a huge relief for many families who are living in fear of being separated. It would also provide opportunities for those who want to contribute to our country but are unable to do so because of their status.
Will I be deported if DACA ends
You may continue to use your work permit, Social Security number and any other benefits associated with your DACA. You will continue to be protected against deportation.
The DACA program was never meant to be a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers. It was always intended to be a temporary solution that would provide young people with a legal way to stay in the United States while Congress worked on a more permanent solution. Unfortunately, Congress has yet to pass any legislation that would provide a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers. The good news is that 86 percent of American voters support giving Dreamers a pathway to legal status, so there is hope that eventually something will be done to provide these young people with the stability they deserve.
Why did the DREAM Act fail?
The DREAM Act is a bill that was passed by the House of Representatives on December 8, 2010. However, the bill failed to reach the 60-vote threshold necessary to end debate on the Senate floor. This means that the bill will not become law at this time.
DACA recipients cannot receive amnesty, a path to citizenship, or legalization. DACA recipients can get a temporary stay against their deportation for two years at a time. DACA recipients cannot vote. DACA recipients cannot receive any federal benefits, like Social Security, college financial aid, or food stamps.
What was the decision of the Supreme court on DACA
The Court’s decision to uphold DACA means that recipients can continue to live and work in the United States without fear of deportation. This is a huge relief for those who have been living in limbo, unsure of their future. It also allows them to continue to contribute to the economy and their communities.
The Trump administration has been trying to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program since they came into office. In September of 2017, they announced a plan to phase out DACA which would have eventually led to the program being rescinded. However, multiple lawsuits have been filed challenging this action and the program is still in place. It is unclear what the future of DACA will be, but it is safe to say that the Trump administration is not a fan of the program.
How many people are on DACA in the US?
More than 13 million people in the US live with a DACA recipient, including 300,000 US-born children who have at least one parent with DACA. A recent 2021 DACA survey found that over 76% of DACA recipients have an immediate family member (parent, sibling, spouse, or child) who is a US citizen. These findings highlight the importance of the DACA program and its positive impact on families across the country.
There are approximately 700,000 DACA recipients in the United States. DACA is an acronym for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. The program allows eligible individuals who were brought to the United States as children to apply for a work permit and protection from deportation. After President Trump announced the end of the program in September 2017, Congress has been working on a solution for DACA recipients.
One possible solution is for DACA recipients to apply for a Green Card to live and work in the United States on a permanent basis. There are two main paths to transition from DACA to Green Card: Consular Processing or Transition through marriage.
Consular Processing:
DACA recipients who are eligible for a Green Card through employment or family sponsorship can begin the process by filing an I-130 Petition for Alien Relative or an I-140 Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker with USCIS. Once the petition is approved, the individual can then apply for a Green Card at a U.S. consulate abroad.
Transition through Marriage:
DACA recipients who marry a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident can file an I-130 Petition for Alien Relative and adjust their status to a Green Card holder through the marriage Green Card process.

Final Words
One can only hope that Trump will not end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, also known as the Dream Act. If Trump were to rescind DACA, he would be taking away the ability of many young, undocumented immigrants to stay in the United States and continue contributing to our economy and society. Furthermore, Trump would be going against the will of the American people, who overwhelmingly support the Dream Act and believe that Dreamers should be given a path to citizenship.
Donald Trump cannot take the Dream Act away because it is an election promise he made. Trump has said that he would not rescind the DACA program on his first day in office and would give Congress six months to pass the Dream Act.
