Many immigration advocates are calling on Congress to pass the 2017 Dream Act. The bill would grant conditional permanent residency to an estimated 1.8 million immigrants who arrived in the U.S. before age 18 and can meet requirements similar to those under DACA. Students, high school or GED course graduates and veterans are eligible for the program. Immigrants who have committed a serious crime, have more than two misdemeanor convictions or are deemed a threat to national security are disqualified.
