Fight for the American Dream Act

This proposal would change who can join the U.S. Armed Forces. It would let certain non‑citizens enlist by creating exceptions to the current citizenship or residency limits in federal law, specifically by amending the part of Title 10 that sets who is qualified to serve (Section 504). The bill’s stated purpose is to “authorize the enlistment of certain aliens in the Armed Forces”.

Key points

• Who is affected: Non‑citizens who meet new qualifications; military recruiters and units that need more personnel.
• What changes: Adds exceptions to the existing citizenship/residency rules in Section 504 to allow some non‑citizens to enlist.
• When: Would take effect if and when it becomes law; specific timing details are not provided in the excerpt.
