Bill > S2526

This bill, known as the "Fight for the American Dream Act," proposes two main changes to existing law regarding military enlistment and naturalization for certain immigrants. First, it amends title 10 of the United States Code to allow individuals with a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) employment authorization document to enlist in the Armed Forces. DACA is an immigration policy that provides temporary protection for certain young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children. Second, the bill modernizes military naturalization procedures by updating the Immigration and Nationality Act. Specifically, it eliminates section 328 and modifies section 329 to expand naturalization pathways for non-citizens serving in the Selected Reserve or on active duty. The changes broaden eligibility by including service members from freely associated states and clarifying the conditions under which non-citizens can pursue U.S. citizenship through military service. These modifications aim to provide more opportunities for immigrants to serve in the U.S. military and potentially gain citizenship through their service.
