Story highlights

The bill, under the Dream Act of 2025 of the US Constitution, seeks to grant Dreamers and Documented Dreamers a status as conditional permanent residents for a maximum of eight years. 

Senators Dick Durbin and Lisa Murkowski have reintroduced the Dream Act in the US Senate. Under this bill, the undocumented immigrants who were brought to America as children and have spent most of their lives in the country, termed as "Dreamers" in the document, will get the chance to file a petition for protection from deportation. The bill, under the Dream Act of 2025 of the US Constitution, seeks to grant Dreamers and Documented Dreamers a status as conditional permanent residents for a maximum of eight years. These people will be able to travel overseas, work lawfully in the US, and be protected from deportation with this status.

Moreover, under this, the status of a conditional permanent resident may be converted to lawful permanent resident status or green card holder status.

The legal status

The bill says that the offspring of a non-immigrant E-1, E-2, H-1B, and L visa holders are considered “Documented Dreamers.” Also, the bill would permit Documented Dreamers—noncitizens who were raised in the US under visa status but “aged out” of their parents' visa when they reached the age of 21—to secure legal status.

The main aim of this bill is to offer stability and a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, who have resided, studied, and worked in the US for the majority of their lives. It also aims to permit noncitizens lacking lawful status, who were brought to the United States as children and who fulfil specific educational, military service, or employment criteria, to obtain lawful permanent residency.
