A bipartisan effort in the U.S. Senate has led to introduction of the DREAM Act of 2017. This bill, if it becomes law, will protect those who currently hold DACA and provide a path to citizenship for millions of people brought to the U.S. as children.

The Supreme Court decided that the rules for passing citizenship to children born to U.S. citizens outside the United States have to be gender-neutral, and treat the children of U.S. citizen fathers the same as the children of U.S. citizen mothers.

By doing so, the Supreme Court made the law equal, but at the same time issued a ruling that will keep many people from claiming U.S. citizenship in the future. What does it cost to make the law fair?
