✨ What is a DREAMER? 🇺🇸💭
“Dreamers” are young immigrants who were brought to the United States as children often at a very young age and have grown up here. Many of them consider the U.S. their only home. ❤️
The term comes from the DREAM Act (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors), a proposal that aimed to offer a path to legal status for these individuals.
Although the DREAM Act hasn't passed, many Dreamers have been protected under DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), which allows them to:
✅ Work legally
✅ Attend school
Dreamers are our classmates, coworkers, neighbors, and friends. They contribute to our communities in countless ways, despite living with uncertainty about their future. 💪🏽🇺🇸
