It is wonderful that the House of Representative has passed a law- The American Dream and Promise Act, but that is one-third of the way because the Senate has to pass it and President Trump has to sign it. As far as I can tell, the Bill does not address border security so it is likely to be defeated. So, my question is that knowing its fate from the get go, why didn't the House add some security measures to please the Republicans or perhaps state that the U.S. government was lax in enforcing our immigration laws in the past and that our youth should not have to suffer because of government inaction. So this Bill is meant to address a situation we now face as a nation but moving forward, there will be no grace periods or other inaction by the government. Unless the Democrats have a majority in both Houses of Congress, we have to be realistic and pass a legislation that will be signed and bring much relief to DACA beneficiaries.
