DREAM Act

The League of Women Voters strongly endorses this common-sense bipartisan legislation, and we stand ready to work with lawmakers to see it become law.

LWV sent a letter to Dream Act sponsor Senator Durbin offering our support and endorsement of the Dream Act, re-introduced last week

On the week that marks the eighth anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, SCOTUS has decided to overrule the wrongful termination of this crucial program.

The League joined 400 national, state, and local groups urging Congress to ensure passage of legislation that permanently protects Dreamers and beneficiaries of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Enforced Departure (DED).

Today hundreds of thousands of people stepped up to say “Immigrants are welcome here” during Families Belong Together marches across the country.

The House of Representatives today in a 121-301 vote rejected the Ryan Compromise immigration legislation.

The League of Women Voters urges members of Congress to vote NO on the Goodlatte bill and NO on the Ryan compromise.

The League sent a memo to the U.S. House urging Representatives to vote NO on the two proposed immigration bills.

The League joined nearly 300 organizations calling on members of Congress to reduce funding for detentions and deportations and provide zero funding for an unnecessary border wall.

The League sent a letter outlining the necessary provisions that should be included in any immigration bill that moves forward. Members of the LWVUS Lobby Corps will be visiting offices on Capitol Hill on this issue in the coming weeks.
