Path To Citizenship?
President Trump, in last night’s State of the Union address, said he supports a path to citizenship for DACA recipients. But that path will take over a decade, 12 years to be exact. He said, “Americans are dreamers too.” So presumably that’s why DACA recipients have to wait so long for citizenship. Is Trump’s solution really a solution?
Anti-immigration Groups Are Open To Deal To Let Dreamers Stay
Congress and the White House negotiate a deal to legalize nearly 800,000 undocumented DREAMers brought to the U.S. as children, they aren’t facing the usual pressure from hard-line groups lobbying for lower immigration levels.
“Rip off the Band-Aid and give them a green card,” said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, one of the groups that usually mobilizes against any effort to grant what they call “amnesty” for anyone who entered the country illegally.
