Dreamers are our friends and neighbors. 🦋
Nearly 30,000 of them work in hospitals and healthcare, taking care of us. 15,000 of them teach our kids. ⠀⠀
And the US isn’t the same without all 700k of them.
Without a clear mechanism for citizenship, many have had to deal with the uncertainty of their undocumented status. Even though many have really known no other country. 🦋
Racial justice is incomplete without immigrant justice.
I am so happy that the Supreme Court yesterday ruled that DACA remains a perfectly legal way for them to remain at home, while we hope and work for more permanent legislation that creates a path for citizenship.
This is a big win, but the fight goes on. It would surprise nobody if the administration makes a different attempt to end or stifle the program. Until a permanent DREAM Act is passed, keep #defendingdreamers
