A Path to Citizenship for Millions of Dreamers

Dreamers are an important and recognized community among immigrants currently residing in the US. This term refers to young immigrants who came to the country without legal documentation when they were minors and who, for the vast majority, have resided in North America for as long as they can remember.

Regardless of whether they were brought to the US without their consent or not, Dreamers remain part of the undocumented immigrant populations and, as such, the local immigration system does not offer them many alternatives.

In fact, the only program available specifically for them is DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), which has offered eligible Dreamers temporary protection from deportation since 2012. However, a Texas judge recently stated that this program is illegitimate and barred the approval of new DACA applications.

Now, the viable alternative for Dreames is for Congress to intervene and open a path to permanent residence or even citizenship for them, but the future is still uncertain.

Congress holds the key to providing legal documentation to Dreamers

Currently, there are several immigration bills under Congressional review, which propose to permanently protect Dreamers and other undocumented immigrant communities. These proposals argue that Dreamers are essential workers and that their services are absolutely necessary to keep the national economy afloat, especially now in times of crisis.

Among the legislation that Congress is reviewing is also Biden’s immigration bill, which is quite ambitious and could radically change the way the country approaches the immigration sector in general, including undocumented foreigners.

What are the obstacles Biden faces in Congress?

Biden is using every resource at his disposal to offer a path to citizenship to Dreamers, provided they meet certain eligibility requirements. Nevertheless, his administration faces several gigantic challenges in Congress, especially in the upper chamber, the Senate.

Let’s look at some important facts:

The reconciliation process

The Biden administration is considering using the reconciliation process to include an immigration resolution in a budget package. This process would allow it to circumvent the Republican filibuster and implement the budget bill with only 51 votes in the Senate, instead of 60.

However, several members of Congress have stated that the Senate will most likely not allow an immigration legislation in a budget package. Regarding this comment, the Biden administration argues that this immigration resolution will protect essential workers and boost the economy in times of crisis.

The border situation

Several members of Congress openly state that they do not plan to support any immigration bill until the border situation improves. By this, we refer to a surge of illegal border crossings that has taken place since the end of 2020, but which has intensified since Biden took office in January 2021.
