The House Clerk lists Discharge Petition No. 25 for H.Res. 1414, a resolution to provide for consideration of H.R. 1589, the American Dream and Promise Act of 2025. The signatures page lists Marc A. Veasey of Texas's 33rd District as signer number 197, signed July 22, 2026.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Veasey took a concrete procedural step to force House consideration of the Dreamers permanent-protection bill. This is stronger than public advocacy but still does not show enactment of permanent protections.

The promise was to support permanent protections for Dreamers, not necessarily to enact them singlehandedly. Veasey met that commitment during the same federal term by serving as an original cosponsor of the American Dream and Promise Act of 2025, signing a discharge petition to force consideration of that bill, and publicly opposing federal actions weakening DACA protections. The permanent-protection bill had not been enacted, but his promised support and material legislative backing were delivered.

The available evidence shows Veasey publicly supported Dreamers by opposing a federal move that would weaken DACA protections and by highlighting oversight activity related to immigrant detention. That demonstrates support for Dreamers in office, but it does not show that he delivered or materially advanced a permanent legislative protection for Dreamers. On the federal timing and credit standard, this supports partial credit for same-term advocacy rather than full delivery of the promised permanent protections.
