Klain: Protections For Dreamers Return On “Day One”

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

President-elect Joe Biden will reinstate legal protections for “Dreamers” on “day one,” incoming Chief of Staff Ron Klain said Sunday. As part of his anti-immigrant agenda, President Donald Trump scrapped in 2017 Obama-era rules safeguarding “Dreamers” from being deported.

Biden campaigned on restoring the protections, and Klain said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” the executive orders being prepared for Biden to sign when he is inaugurated Jan. 20 will address “Dreamer” status. “We have a big stack of business for day one already,” Klain said.

“We’re going to rejoin Paris, we’re going to protect the Dreamers on day one, we’re going to take other action on health care on day one that the president-elect’s talked about during the campaign. So, we’ve got a busy, busy day one on ready scenario here.”
