The DACA program allows people who were brought into the U.S. without documentation as children to remain in the country—but for years its fate has hung in the balance amid legal challenges
For millions of people brought to the United States without documentation as children, simply existing can mean breaking the law. Many don’t have the legal paperwork that allows them to work, drive, or attend school. And even though they may speak fluent English, know no other country, and consider themselves American, the threat of deportation is always present.
The people living in this state of suspended reality are known as Dreamers, so named for the legislation that attempted to reconcile their legal status more than 20 years ago. This state of legal limbo is central to the main character of a new series that will be available for streaming on Disney+ beginning on December 14. Inthe fictional Jess Valenzuela, a Dreamer, risks possible deportation as she embarks on an adventure to uncover the truth about the past and save a lost Pan-American treasure.People have brought their children to the U.S. without authorization throughout American history.
Still, the law and its different permutations faced stiff opposition in both chambers of Congress. Though the proposal was bipartisan in origin, the law only found few Republican co-sponsors after the 9/11 attacks. Some states slowly adopted their own laws protecting undocumented youth, but the DREAM Act languished for more than a decade in Congress. By 2012, the U.S. began to consider other ways to shield unauthorized childhood arrivals.
