Democratic presidential candidate and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) wants to open jobs in Congress to undocumented young people allowed to stay and work in the U.S. under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

On Wednesday, the senator plans to introduce a bill with Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) that would allow DACA recipients to obtain paid jobs in Congress. Even though the roughly 700,000 participants in the program are allowed to legally work, they are barred from paid roles in Congress. So-called Dreamers can still intern on Capitol Hill they just cant get paid for it.

Only U.S. citizens or permanent residents planning to become citizens are currently able to be employed in the House or Senate. The new American Dream Employment Act would amend the current appropriations law to include DACA recipients as a category of people eligible for paid employment on Capitol Hill.

Lawmakers introduced a similar bill in the House earlier this year, and so far, 57 congresspeople are co-sponsoring it. All but one, Rep. Jenniffer Gonzlez Coln of Puerto Rico, are Democrats.

The legislation is unlikely to become law due to Republican control of the Senate and President Donald Trump, but it is a signal of the type of immigration policy Harris would support should she prevail in 2020.

The giant sign outside my office says DREAMers Welcome Here because we know and value the contributions that these young people have made to their communities, Harris said in a statement. But right now, those same young people are banned from giving back to their country by working for Congress. That has to change.

Noting that Dreamers are some of our best and brightest, the 2020 candidate added that government works best when it reflects the people it represents.
