Democrats’ latest DREAM Act should be called ‘False Hope Act’
BY NOLAN RAPPAPORT, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 06/20/22 11:30 AM ET
President Barack Obama established the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program on June 15, 2012. It was supposed to be a stopgap measure to provide relief to undocumented immigrant youth after Congress had failed repeatedly to pass a DREAM Act to make lawful status available to them.
Despite the fact that the Democrats have introduced at least 11 versions over the last 20 years,
Congress still hasn’t passed a DREAM Act — and DACA just had its tenth anniversary
Missed opportunity
