Fight for the American Dream Act

The "Fight for the American Dream Act" proposes significant changes to military enlistment and naturalization processes. It amends Title 10, United States Code, to specifically authorize the enlistment of individuals who possess an employment authorization document issued under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy . This provision expands the pool of qualified persons eligible to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces by including these individuals. Furthermore, the bill modernizes military naturalization by amending Chapter 2 of Title III of the Immigration and Nationality Act. It strikes an existing section and revises another to streamline naturalization for those serving in the Selected Reserve or in active-duty status . These amendments update the language regarding service conditions and locations, aiming to simplify the path to citizenship for eligible service members.
