On Tuesday, the Democratic-led House of Representatives is expected to pass legislation seeking to provide permanent protections and offer a pathway to citizenship for more than two million immigrants who had their lives"thrown into limbo" by the Trump administration, immigration advocates say., which was spearheaded by Democratic Representative Lucille Roybal-Allard of California, seeks to provide permanent status not only to undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S.
Under President Donald Trump, both programs face uncertain futures, with the U.S. leader's administration seeking to end protections for hundreds of thousands of TPS beneficiaries, while also ordering a"wind-down" of the DED program slated to begin as of March 30, 2020. "Dreamers and TPS or DED holders are immigrants who have lived much of their lives in the United States," the organization noted."The average TPS recipient has lived here for 22 years, the vast majority of that time in lawful status, while the average Dreamer potentially eligible for protection under the bill came to the United States at age 8," CAP said, noting that"given their long-term resident in the United States, many of these immigrants have families here.
The organization said its members would be gathering on Capitol Hill to support the legislation, along with immigrant youth, TPS and DED recipients who would benefit from its protections.
Another nothing bill!
The Democrats had the ability to secure DACA last year and sold them out. This will pass the house and fall short. It’s show boating. Dems sold out DACA kids over a year ago. DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica
