The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed an amendment led by Congresswomen Deborah Ross, Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zoe Lofgren, that seeks to protect more than 200,000 young immigrants known as Documented Dreamers.
As these children are no longer dependent on their parents’ visas when they turn 21, they face the risk of deportation. The amendment will address serious flaws the US immigration system particularly the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) and prevent the dreamers from aging out.
My amendment to protect Documented Dreamers just passed the House with the NDAA!

It is unconscionable that we continue to force many of these talented, patriotic young people to self-deport to countries they may barely remember. Now it's time for the Senate to act. pic.twitter.com/w60ZRD0Ok1
