In a March 17, 2025, statement, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) cited estimates that the number of undocumented persons living in this country who came as children exceeds three million. For a majority of these Dreamers, the U.S. is the only country they have ever known, and they are now woven into the fabric of our society. They are business owners, pastors, essential workers, veterans, taxpayers, and members of American families. Nevertheless, they live in uncertainty, facing the constant threat of policy changes, deportation, and upheaval of their families. In 2012, the Department of Homeland Security created the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. While DACA does not provide a pathway to citizenship, beneficiaries are granted a temporary form of protection from deportation and work authorization. To date, over 800,000 people have benefited from DACA, but it was recently ruled unlawful. USCCB has long supported bills that would provide this population access to permanent legal status. Legislators should protect and support Dreamers, especially DACA beneficiaries and those who are part of mixed-status families. Legislation should respect the inviolable dignity of these and other immigrants, taking into consideration their profound contributions to our nation and the wellbeing of families. Our society is only as strong as our families, and that includes those comprised of people with different immigration statuses. More information can be found at https://justiceforimmigrants.org.
