A mostly-Democratic coalition of lawmakers reintroduced the American Dream and Promise Act of 2025 on Wednesday, aiming to establish a legal pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children, commonly known as Dreamers. The bill would also provide permanent legal status for immigrants with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Enforced Departure (DED).
"For decades, they have contributed to and shaped the fabric of America. Yet, they are currently denied their place in the American story," said Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D-TX), a sponsors of the bill in a statement accompanying the bill's reintroduction. "Dreamers are American in every way but on paper."
