The Sedan Sex (2018)U.S. Supreme Court just delivered good news for DREAMers — and the tech world is celebrating.
In a 5-4 decision announced on Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruledthat President Donald Trump wrongly ended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
DACA allows undocumented people who were brought into the U.S. as children to remain and legally work in the country.
It should be noted that the Supreme Court only disagreed with how Trump tried to shut down the program. The White House can try again with the hope that other justifications will be accepted by the courts.
Many big tech companies have strongly advocated for DACA and other immigration policies, such as the DREAM Act. And now prominent people and groups in Silicon Valley are celebrating. For many of them, it's deeply personal.

"IBM applauds today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision permitting DACA recipients to continue living and working in the United States," said Senior VP & Chief Human Resources Officer Diane Gherson. "To our Dreamers, I remind you that IBM stands with you. Our company will continue to do everything in our power to help you, from supporting renewals to providing direct legal and financial assistance."
The program, which was instituted under President Barack Obama in 2012, allows undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children to stay in the country without the fear of deportation as long as they don't have any felonies or significant misdemeanors. Nearly 650,000 undocumented young people depend on the program, which requires they get a work permit renewed every two years.
As many advocates point out, these young people had no say in the decision to come to the country when they did. They pay taxes. They contribute to the U.S. economy. Some have children who are U.S. citizens. Many were brought into the U.S. at such a young age they have no memories of the country they were born in.
This decision comes just days after the U.S. Supreme Court delivered good newsfor the LGBTQ community, ruling that existing laws protect them from discrimination.
