Why it’s important for California that DACA recipients be provided permanent resident status

Blake Nordahl for CalMatters lays out the case about why American Dream and Promise Act,  passed by the House of Representatives, is a step in the right direction.   He concludes:

“Without Congressional action, we risk creating a permanently disenfranchised underclass, with a precarious and uncertain right to remain in the United States. Even if there may not be enough support in Congress for comprehensive immigration reform, incremental steps such as codifying DACA would mean significant progress. Our community is depending on it.”
