People with DACA would be able to get work permits under federal law in every state. New DACA applicants who qualify would get work authorization when they get deferred action. The change would start 90 days after the bill becomes law.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Texas Dreamer Work Authorization Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Latest action on H.R. 6922: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who already have DACA and people applying for DACA for the first time. It also affects employers who hire DACA recipients, especially in states where court rulings have made work permit rules unclear. State and local economies could also feel the effect if more DACA recipients can keep working legally.
Why this matters: This matters because the ability to work legally can decide whether a DACA recipient can keep a job, support a family, or use their training. Right now, court fights have created uncertainty in some places. This bill would replace that patchwork with one federal rule for DACA work permits. It could help workers and employers plan ahead, but it would not give DACA recipients permanent legal status or solve broader immigration problems.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
