House Democrats have finally passed the latest rendition of the DREAM Act, along with seven Republicans. No Democrats voted against it! The DREAM And Promise Act of 2019 is a considerable feat: It would give millions of undocumented immigrants (and immigrants with temporary status) a pathway to citizenship.
The House approved the immigration bill by a vote of 237 to 187. This is the first time there’s been a vote on this issue since 2010. The next step for the legislation is to face the Senate, which is under Republican control. That’s a potential barrier, for sure, but this is still worth celebrating.
