Countering DACA Myths

Save DACA!  DACA does not threaten U.S. citizens’ jobs, does not grant citizenship or lawful permanent resident status, and ending DACA will expose Dreamers and their families to deportation. The New York Times explains why common critiques of DACA are misleading here.

DACA Is an Economic Boon

According to a new economic study, the end of DACA would mean $460 billion in lost GDP, not to mention the bureaucratic and legal mess required to try and deport more than 700,000 young people. DACA recipients, or “Dreamers”, have used this program to better themselves (91% of DACA recipients are employed), our communities, and our country.
