A bipartisan group of 43 lawmakers have urged the Biden administration to take urgent action to protect over 250,000 Documented Dreamers, many of whom are Indians. These foreign nationals entered the US as dependents under their parents’ temporary visas but are forced to self-deport after aging out of legal status. The lawmakers cited the extensive backlogs in families’ adjustment of status applications as a major reason for the impending deportations. They have introduced the America’s CHILDREN Act to protect these young people who attend American schools and graduate from American institutions. The lawmakers made three recommendations: clarifying the use of deferred action, expanding eligibility for Employment Authorisation, and creating a process for long-term visa holders who age out to seek parole in urgent humanitarian cases.
