Padilla, Paul, Ross, Miller-Meeks Introduce Bipartisan, Bicameral Bill to Protect Documented Dreamers
Sept. 19, 2025“These Documented Dreamers are Americans in every way except one: their parent’s green card is tied up in red tape,” said Senator Padilla. “This long overdue change is about more than just immigration reform — it’s about righting a wrong that’s a byproduct of our outdated immigration system. Our bipartisan bill would prevent these hardworking young members of our communities and economy from ‘aging out’ of their parents’ visa status when they turn 21, and create additional green card opportunities for Documented Dreamers. I appreciate the partnership of my colleagues across the aisle and urge others to stand up and do the right thing for these young Americans.”
“These children who have legally called the United States home for many years and even decades, are contributing members in our communities and to our economy. They shouldn’t be penalized by the government’s failures in addressing green card backlogs,” said Dr. Paul. “The America’s Children Act provides targeted relief for these children of merit-based immigrants who are at risk of ‘aging out’ of their lawful immigration status, and I’m pleased to join Sen. Padilla in introducing this bill.”
“Documented Dreamers are members of our communities — they study at our schools, learn alongside our children, and attend our houses of worship in North Carolina and nationwide,” said Representative Ross. “Despite these deep ties, many of them are at risk of deportation from the country they love and call home. It’s time to finally fix our broken immigration system and give these inspiring young people a chance to pursue their dreams and give back to their communities. I’m proud to join my colleagues in both chambers to introduce bipartisan legislation to ensure Documented Dreamers can remain in this country and use their talents and skills to make America stronger.”
Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, Sen. Alex Padilla, Sen. Rand Paul, Rep. Deborah RossDr. Paul’s Resolution to Reaffirm “Remain in Mexico” Policy Successfully Passes out of Committee
Jan. 16, 2025"Today, after a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on the Trump administration’s successful “Remain in Mexico” policy, the committee held a business meeting and passed Chairman Paul’s resolution reaffirming the President and Secretary of Homeland Security’s legal authority to secure the border. The vote on the “Remain in Mexico” resolution was 8-6. The “Remain in Mexico” policy was first introduced by the Trump administration in January 2019, requiring certain inadmissible migrants who arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border to wait in Mexico rather than being released into the U.S."
