Democrats eager to find a legislative solution before 2023 for young undocumented immigrants are getting a wake-up call: They need votes from Republicans who don’t want to do it.
, to move the bipartisan House-passed immigration bill focused on easing visas for agricultural workers before 2023, but that could prove a heavy lift. And even that small step won’t dispel the gloomy post-midterms atmosphere for advocates who see a closing window for Congress to offer legal status to undocumented immigrants.
Now Democrats and immigration advocates argue there’s added urgency after an appeals court ruling in October left uncertain the fate of undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children. The court deemed the DACA program illegal, but indicated that current recipients of deportation protections wouldn’t be affected amid the litigation. Advocates predict the case will end up before the Supreme Court.
