Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would change federal immigration law so that the Secretary of Homeland Security must give work authorization to any person granted deferred action under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy or any successor policy. It states that this applies regardless of any other law or court order to the contrary. First-time DACA applicants who meet the eligibility rules, including those living in places where work permits had been restricted such as Texas, would receive work authorization at the same time they are granted deferred action. The law would take effect 90 days after it is enacted.
