Project 2025 threatens deportation without warrants
Project 2025 outlines dozens of proposed actions on immigration in its nearly 1,000-page handbook.

Improve The Dream
Improve The Dream advocates for children who have grown up in the United States as child dependents of long-term visa holders, but face self-deportation after aging-out. Did you know that an immigrant child can grow up in the United States with a legal status, but still have no clear path to citizenship.
Over 200,000 children and young adults have grown up legally in the U.S., attended American schools and universities. Their H4 visas allow lawful long-term residence without a clear path to citizenship. Other visas having long backlogs for a green card forcing these young people to “self-deport” and leave America when they turn 21, even though they’ve spent all of their lives here. It’s time to permanently end aging-out by passing America’s Children Act so American raised and educated children can stay and contribute to America.
