U.S. President Joe Biden said last month that immigration should be a part of an upcoming budget bill. Biden had indicated his intent to provide a pathway for Dreamers — beneficiaries of the DACA program — in the past. According to Reuters, he told White House reporters last month that it remains uncertain whether or not the program will be addressed in the legislation. A July 13 working memo to Democratic Senators detailed the $3.5 trillion framework agreement. According to the memo, a planned $107 billion would be allocated to the Judiciary Committee, including coverage of a pathway to “lawful permanent status for qualified immigrants.” The motion isn’t expected to be popular among Republicans. But Biden’s $3.5 trillion spending bill could bode without Republican support via reconciliation, a process in which a spending bill only needs a simple majority to pass. DACA was implemented by the Obama administration in 2012 to allow immigrants brought to the U.S. as minors to legally live and work in the country. In July a federal judge in Texas declared DACA unlawful and blocked the Biden administration from accepting new applications. Biden issued a statement in response to the ruling, calling it “deeply disappointing” and calling on Congress to protect Dreamers “through reconciliation or other means.”

Hear From Our
Clients
"One of the top immigration lawyers in Chicagoland. Michael Ibrahim is attentive, supportive, and knowledgeable. One of his best abilities is his availability. He responds to emails with attention and detail, often on the same day. Don't underestimate that in dealing with any immigration matter. He is personable; he does not simply collect fees and treat you like a client but rather like a friend. Your success is his success, and he understands that. If Michael were a surgeon, accountant, or another lawyer in any other field. I would want him. You cannot replicate him.." -Yousef S.
"My wife and I are very thankful for Micheal Ibrahim. Before we hired him, we approached many immigration lawyers over ten years to duplicate documents that were destroyed in a fire. The results were disappointing. Micheal was able to find the lost documents. My wife got her permanent residency. He was always available for us during a stressful time. We would like to thank Michael for his knowledge, professionalism, and expertise. We would definitely recommend Michael for immigration services." -Farzad D.
"Michael took over my case, which had been in immigration proceedings for many years, and I am so glad that he did. He is very professional, kept my husband, and I informed of every step of the process, and gave us the most honest and beneficial advice! Highly recommended for anyone who is in need of a great immigration attorney! Thank you again, Michael!" -Nida F.
