Bill > HRes994

This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives, meaning it conveys the opinion or feeling of the House, that the Secretary of Defense should examine section 504 of title 10 of the United States Code. This examination is specifically for the purpose of determining and authorizing the enlistment of certain aliens, which refers to non-citizens, into the Armed Forces. The resolution highlights a particular group of aliens: those who have an employment authorization document issued under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. DACA is a program established by the Department of Homeland Security in 2012 that allows certain individuals who came to the United States as children to receive deferred action from deportation and a work permit. The resolution is asking the Secretary of Defense to review the existing law (section 504 of title 10, United States Code) to see if it can be used to allow these DACA recipients to join the military.
