n 2012, President Obama enacted the executive order, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, also known as DACA, allowing undocumented immigrants brought to the US as children, commonly known as DREAMers, to work, attend school, and live in the US subject to federal background checks and a two-year renewal. Since then, almost a million DREAMers have been able to attend college, graduate, obtain higher-paying jobs, contribute to the economy, buy property, and pursue successful careers.

Today, several conservative states led by Texas, have given the president an ultimatum to end the program by September 5th or face a lawsuit that may not be challenged by Jeff Sessions.
