Controversy Surrounding Dreamers
As a nation, America is incredibly divided, especially regarding illegal immigration. Many people are in favor of reform measures such as amnesty or a path to citizenship. Other Americans support different changes such as ending chain migration and deporting illegal immigrants.
Some people have even affirmed that American citizens and legal immigrants have dreams which deserve to be prioritized or at least taken into account. Many right-leaning Americans have furthermore stated that putting the needs of illegal immigrants before the needs of U.S. citizens and legal immigrants is unfair.
Like American citizens, Republican and Democratic leaders also remain at odds regarding the fate of Dreamers. Two government shutdowns occurred this year as a result of disagreements between the two major parties. As the deadline to reach a decision approaches, more and more people are coming forth and expressing their views and opinions on Dreamers and their deserved fate in America.
