Rand Paul and CA democrat propose immigration reform for ‘documented Dreamers.’
September 23, 2021
Rand Paul (R-KY) has teamed up with Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) on an immigration reform bill to grant citizenship for ” Documented Dreamers,” children of long-term visa holders who have waited for years for a green card. The “America’s Children Act,” introduced last week by Paul and Padilla, would aim to help the Documented Dreamers, who face deportation if they age out of dependent status at 21 without a green card or another immigration status. The bill would create a “pathway to permanent residency for individuals who were brought to the United States as dependent children of workers admitted under approved employer petitions, have maintained status in the United States for 10 years (including four years as a dependent) and have graduated from an institution of higher education.”
