The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has issued an action alert asking Catholics to urge their members of Congress to “protect and support Dreamers, especially DACA beneficiaries and those who are part of mixed-status families.”
“Dreamers,” named after the DREAM Act, are immigrants who were brought to the United States illegally as children. DACA refers to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, President Barack Obama’s 2012 executive action deferring deportation of “Dreamers” and permitting them to work in the nation legally without providing a path to citizenship.
