To: Rep. Mike Levin (CA-49)
Tell Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) to stand with Dreamers in His District and Pass the Dream Act
It’s time that you put an end to Donald Trump’s attacks on immigrants in your community! We demand that you stand with Dreamers in your district and co-sponsor the Dream Act in the House.
Why is this important?
If we want to ensure that Dreamers are kept safe from Donald Trump’s Deportation Force, then Congress must pass the Dream Act.
Today, there are nearly 800,000 young immigrants who came to the United States as children and currently have no immigration status. They’re often referred to as Dreamers because the Dream Act would give them a pathway to citizenship.
In 2012, President Obama used his executive power to protect Dreamers from deportation and allowed them to work and drive legally in the United States.
Since then Dreamers have thrived under DACA, by going to school and contributing back to their local communities and economy.
However, several officials within the Trump Administration have indicated that they intend on ending the DACA program - killing the dreams of hundreds of thousands of Dreamers who grew up only knowing America as their home and putting them on a path to deportation.
Even Trump’s top immigration official even told Hispanic leaders in Congress to prepare for the worst in regards to DACA.
The 2017 Dream Act would allow Dreamers to stay in the United States and apply for citizenship. That’s why we’re calling on Congress to pass the Dream Act. Please join with us and sign this petition.
