Six months ago, U.S. President Donald Trump announced he was ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. It temporarily protected hundreds of thousands of undocumented young immigrants, known as Dreamers, from deportation. March 5 marked the end to the program but court decisions are forcing the government to keep renewing permits. Without the pressure of a deadline, immigration reform appears to no longer be a priority for congress. And the dreamers, who lived years in the shadows, are pushing for a definitive solution. To discuss all of this: Liana Montecinos is a former dreamer who was able to legalize her status and now helps other undocumented immigrants as a paralegal. Tamar Jacoby is the president and CEO of Immigration Works USA. David Leopold is an immigration attorney and the former president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. Michael Johns is the co-founder of the National Tea Party Movement.
