On June 4, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the American Dream and Promise Act of 2019, which now faces the Senate.

According to Newsweek, the act “seeks to provide permanent status not only to undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as minors, known as Dreamers, but also to those living in the U.S. under the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) programs.”

While some congressional Republicans support some type of bill protecting “Dreamers,” the disconnect between the parties appears to involve the fact that the act doesn’t address the issue of border security. If congressional Democrats want to seriously tackle the issue of immigration, any proposed bill must also include acceptable provisions relative to border security.
