Proponents say
• This bill offers a permanent legislation solution for children who came to the U.S. through no fault of their own, while achieving operational control of the border by 2020.
• This bill does not only palliate the immigration problem but provides direct means to address the root problem of unlawful immigration through increased support to Central America.
• By providing DREAMers conditional legal status while they pursue a green card, DREAMers are given the same opportunity as other green card-holders to become U.S. citizens. This is fair while also being merciful.
