The U visa program strengthens public safety by creating trust between police and immigrant communities. Until 2012, the visas had bipartisan support -- but then Republicans began to view it as an easily exploited pathway to legal residency.

The last immigrants standing in the age of delegalization are the Dreamers"traditionally regarded by both parties as politically sympathetic. In 2017, when Trump's first Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, declared an end to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or daca, there was some momentum to pass immigration legislation"but by the time the Supreme Court ruled that the way in which the Administration tried to cancel the program was unlawful, talks in Congress had fallen apart. A federal case over the program's legality could eventually make its way to the Supreme Court"perhaps that, finally, might shock Congress into action. In the meantime, the Trump Administration is slow-walking daca applications, allowing recipients to lose their protections while waiting for their next renewals. The Great Delegalization, in ways big and small, continues apace.>/vlockquote>
