**Job Creators Across the Nation Urge Congress to Enact a Permanent
Solution for Dreamers **

Washington, D.C. - Sixty companies and national trade associations
issued a letter to Speaker Johnson, Majority Leader Schumer, Democratic
Leader Jeffries, and Republican Leader McConnell urging them to work
together to advance a permanent legislative solution for Dreamers.

"Dreamers make essential contributions to America's economic
well-being, playing a vital role in the workforce, starting businesses,
and creating jobs," the signatories stated in the letter, organized by
the National Immigration Forum. "They are also consumers with
significant purchasing power and contribute millions of dollars in tax
revenue to federal, state, and local governments. American businesses in
numerous key sectors rely on DACA beneficiaries in their workforce."

The signatories range from Fortune 100 and 500 companies to trade
organizations representing large and small, family-owned businesses
across the country. These businesses rely on Dreamers to meet workforce
demands and deliver consistent, quality services in the American
market. 

"Businesses have not forgotten that we need a lasting solution for DACA
recipients and other Dreamers. America will be stronger when Republicans
and Democrats work together to pass reforms that offer certainty to
Dreamers, their employers and their communities. These kinds of
solutions have remarkable support
,"
said Jennie Murray, President and CEO of the National Immigration
Forum.

Since the creation of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) in
2012, thousands of DACA recipients have been granted temporary
protections that enable them to contribute to their communities, both as
employees and consumers. However, DACA faces ongoing legal challenges
and was again ruled unlawful in September. Though current recipients
remain protected while the ruling is appealed, millions of lives hang in
the balance in the absence of a federal solution.
