LULAC URGES CONGRESS TO ACT AFTER 5TH CIRCUIT DACA RUILING
==========================================================


Nation's Oldest and Largest Latino Civil Rights Organization Urges Congress to
Take Immediate Action
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Washington, D.C - The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) issued the
following statement following the 5th Circuit’s ruling against the Deferred
Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). On Wednesday, a three-judge panel on the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit — one of the most conservative
federal appellate courts in the country — ruled that Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, a federal program that protects thousands of young
immigrants from deportation is unlawful but allowed individuals already enrolled
to renew their status, essentially keeping the status of the program unchanged
but its future uncertain.

In August, the Department of Homeland Security issued a final rule “to preserve
and fortify” the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) administration
policy [ [link removed] ] .
The new regulation was intended to go into effect on October 31, 2022. The Biden
administration must continue its legal fight to enroll new applicants in the
program. The lives of thousands of Dreamers remain in limbo.

Most Americans support granting legal status to immigrants who came to the United
States as children, according to a Pew Research Center poll [ [link removed] ] .
Today, six-in-ten adults say it should be an important goal,

The time is NOW for Congress to take action and pass a law to permanently protect
young immigrants and their families residing in the United States. It is the
responsibility of the Senate to greenlight a permanent pathway to citizenship and
legal status” The Senate must join the House to immediately pass the American
Dream and Promise Act — urgent and necessary, House-passed legislation and send
it straight to President Biden’s desk.

Call your Senators today and urge them to pass the American Dream and Promise
Act.
