Temporary protection is not a permanent future.

USCIS remains prohibited from granting initial DACA requests, even though it continues processing renewals for existing recipients. Meanwhile, TPS protections can end through country-by-country executive decisions. Haiti's TPS designation and related benefits, for example, ended on July 27, 2026. Different programs create different legal rules, but the underlying injustice is the same: people can build their lives in the United States while remaining dependent on the next lawsuit, renewal notice, or administration decision.

Congress already has a bipartisan legislative solution. H.R. 1589, the American Dream and Promise Act of 2025, would allow eligible Dreamers to pursue permanent legal status and would create permanent-residence protections for qualifying TPS and Deferred Enforced Departure holders. The bill has both Democratic and Republican support.

There is now a direct path to forcing action. Representative Sylvia Garcia filed Discharge Petition No. 25 to bring H.R. 1589 before the House. As of August 6, 2026, the official House Clerk record lists 210 signatures—only eight short of the 218 required to move a discharge petition forward. The signatures already include members of both parties.

We demand that every House member who supports permanent protection for Dreamers and TPS holders sign Discharge Petition No. 25. We demand that House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan stop blocking H.R. 1589 and that Speaker Mike Johnson bring the American Dream and Promise Act to a vote.

Sign and share this petition. Dreamers and TPS families should not have to live their entire lives inside a temporary government program. Congress has a bill, a path to a vote, and no excuse for continued inaction.
