The Dreamers took advantage of a "Loophole" that allowed them to leave the country and be "Paroled" back into the U.S. - and under the law, anyone who is paroled can apply to adjust their status to a full legal permanent resident, or green card holder.
The Trump administration reported to Congress in 2017 that more than 45,000 DACA recipients had been granted advance parole - permission for those in the U.S. without permanent legal status to leave and then re-enter - creating the opportunity for them to find a valid visa that would earn them a path to citizenship.
In writing the rules for DACA, opened a very large doorway to that path by specifically granting them the chance to win advance parole.
Advance parole is supposed to be granted only in cases in which a migrant has a compelling need to leave the U.S. Immigrant-rights organizations set about to create opportunities to give DACA recipients a chance to win green cards.
The Trump administration in 2017 reversed that policy and revealed that more than 45,000 DACA recipients had been granted advance parole.
Mr. Trump, in announcing his attempt to phase out DACA in 2017, canceled the ability of Dreamers to use advance parole to get on the path to citizenship.
"USCIS is no longer accepting or approving advance parole requests from DACA recipients under standards associated with the DACA policy," the agency told The Washington Times.
