New resources on the American Dream and Promise Act of 2019 and Multilingual TPS Resources
We have some new resources on the American Dream and Promise Act of 2019 (HR 6) to share:
1) An FAQ<https://www.nilc.org/faq-american-dream-and-promise-act-of-2019/> on the American Dream and Promise Act of 2019 (HR 6)
2) A side-by-side comparison<https://www.nilc.org/issues/immigration-reform-and-executive-actions/daca-and-dream-act-2019-and-adpa2019/> of DACA, the Dream Act of 2019 (S 874)* and the American Dream and Promise Act of 2019 (HR 6)
3) A side-by-side comparison<https://www.nilc.org/tps-american-promise-act-2017-adpa2019-secure-act2019/> of TPS, the American Promise Act of 2017 (HR 4253), the American Dream and Promise Act of 2019 (HR 6) and the SECURE Act of 2019 (S 879)*
*Note that while the final text of Dream Act of 2019 has not been posted on www.Congress.gov, the press release<https://www.durbin.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/graham-durbin-reintroduce-dream-act> announcing its introduction referred to it as identical to Dream Act of 2017. Similarly, while final text of the SECURE Act of 2019 has not been posted, the press release<https://www.vanhollen.senate.gov/news/press-releases/van-hollen-cardin-feinstein-kaine-introduce-legislation-to-protect-tps-recipients> announcing its introduction last week linked to this text<https://www.vanhollen.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/SECURE%202019.pdf>. Once final language is posted to www.Congress.gov<http://www.Congress.gov>, we will be sure to do a final comparison to ensure there are no discrepancies)
As TPS program terminations have continued and communities have been made vulnerable to deportation and interruption of their ability to work, the Informed Immigrant team has been working hard to pull together existing resources on TPS from organizations as well as a practical guide for TPS holders. This collection and guide launched today in four languages. You can find more on that resource below - we encourage everyone to share with their networks and reach out if you have any questions!
