More immigrants may lose their status.

As the year draws to a close, Congress is focused on Trump's tax reform rather than on the fate of the 800 "Dreamers" - young immigrants brought to the country as children by their immigrant parents.

If legislators are not determined in December, young “dreamers” throughout the country will be subject to deportation. Their only way out is to leave 2018 in March, leave the only country they remember, or become illegal again and go into the shadows.

Despite the common interest in keeping the “dreamers” in the country, Democrats and Republicans have serious differences in what they would like to see in the final bill.

President Trump has publicly promised to support a deal with the Democrats, according to which immigrants are given legal status, in exchange for some concessions on border security. Then, under the pressure of the Republicans, he turned to a set of maximalist demands, including funding for the construction of the border wall and the reduction of legal immigration. Some republican lawmakers have made additions to the bill to “dreamers” prohibit bringing relatives for at least 15 years.

Democrats, in order to pass legislation allowing "dreamers" to remain in the country, are now threatening to block the spending bill. Republicans say it is unacceptable.

This week begins a big push to the rescue of young immigrants, when a group of "dreamers" will begin to arrive in Washington. Activists are planning rallies in front of the White House, sit-down protests on Capitol Hill, and not only.

The business community is also participating by creating a meeting room next week at the Capitol, where supporters of Republicans and Democrats can conduct satellite interviews with national and local press.

The essence of the program

Young immigrants who fell under the DACA, in most cases entered the United States at the age of six years - usually from Mexico and Central America. For the most part, they did not know another homeland, except the United States. Thanks to the anti-deportation program, they are now studying, working or serving in the US military, Voice of America explains.

If Congress does not take legislative measures to protect them, then 5 in March 2018 (after the 6 month transition period expires) will be deported.

And about. Elaine Duke, head of the Department of Homeland Security, explained that until 5 in March 2018, none of the beneficiaries of the change program were affected so that Congress would have time to pass the corresponding bill. Those DACA members whose work permits expire before this date will be able to renew them if they have time to do it by September 5. Other permissions will not be updated.
