Last Thursday, the senate left the thousands of “DREAMers” in limbo by rejecting all rival plans. Selection of a plan would have spared the immigrants from the deportation along with strengthening the border security. This was a galling defeat for the Trump administration as more than quarter of Republicans abandoned him on this issue.
Brought in as children, DREAMers are the immigrants you risk the loss of protection to stay in the country as they lack the permanent authorization. The DACA program gave him the ability to work, and live the country for period of 2 years (that is renewed regularly).
The senate votes left the young DREAMers with March 5 deadline that President Trump gave the Congress before restoring DACA or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that he annulled last year. While the federal courts temporarily blocked Trump administration from putting the immigrants out of the country, it is only congressional action that can keep them in the country. As the time expires, the young immigrants will lose their protection and will be deported.
Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina helped the Trump Administration craft the immigration plan and backed it till the end. He believes that the only way forward is for President Trump to grab the reins and lead us to a solution.
Since his presidentship, Trump has dangled the chance of citizenship for the 1.8 million immigrants, but he also wants $25 billion US to build his border wall with Mexico, high border security and tighter curbs on family members whom legal immigrants might sponsor. He is also opting to end the visa lottery system.
The Democrats said that Trump was the major hindrance to a broader deal. Trump’s immigration proposal offered not only a citizen pathway but also $25 billion for border security, however, it is doled out in coming 10 years. This bill also prevents the legal immigrants to sponsor his parents or sibling for citizenship, and ends the visa lottery system. The compromise bill leaves the visa lottery system intact but disbars the DREAMers from sponsoring their parents for green card.
