American Dream and Promise Act

The American Dream and Promise Act is a proposed United States law that would incorporate the provisions of the DACA program into federal law. Up to 4.4 million DREAMers would be eligible for Conditional Permanent Residence or Temporary Protected Status. The bill is a reintroduced version of a bill by the same name that was passed in the House of Representatives in the 116th Congress, but was never taken up by the Senate. The provisions of the bill granting pathways to permanent residence are less expansive than the US Citizenship Act of 2021, however, Democrats have indicated they are more likely to progress this bill, along with the accompanying Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2021 since it is more likely to receive the 10 Republican votes needed in the United States Senate.
