John,
When the Obama administration unveiled DACA (the Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals program), via executive order they set in place a
revolutionary plan to protect undocumented immigrants brought to the
United States as children.
Sadly, late last week, a federal judge ruled that DACA is
unconstitutional, putting Dreamers’ lives that have already been in legal
limbo for years, in jeopardy yet again.
Enough.
While the courts overturned the executive order that established DACA,
Congress can fix it by making it law.
We need to establish permanent protections for hundreds of thousands of
Dreamers NOW.
They are our family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and colleagues, and
we must continue to protect them.
They can’t keep waiting in fear.
The House already passed the DREAM Act’s most recent version, H.R.6, the
American Dream and Promise Act of 2021 in March, now it's time for the
Senate to do the same!

finally protect Dreamers before it’s too late.

More than 800,000 immigrants who were brought to the United States by
their parents as children benefit from DACA, which has massive public
support.
DACA gives people the chance to live, work, and study in the country they
call home, without fear of deportation.
We knew that it was only a matter of time until Republicans were
successful at overturning DACA in the courts.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Senate Democrats need to fight back against this attack on DACA and
clearly respond with action. With the lives of hundreds of thousands on
the line, pithy tweets and press releases filled with platitudes and
concern are not enough.
We cannot just stand by quietly while the courts and the Republican Party
tear apart our families, target our friends, and destroy our communities.
[ [link removed] ]Right now, Senate Democrats have the levers of power at their disposal.
Stand with DFA as we demand that they use it to protect Dreamers now.

Progress is made by standing up and fighting for it. Together, we’ll fight
back against anti-immigrant policies and protect Dreamers.
Thank you for standing with Dreamers in this critical fight.
