Conservatives, Moderates Urge Congress to Help Dreamers

**WASHINGTON, D.C.**- Ten years after the announcement of Deferred
Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), Americans across the political
spectrum continue to demand a permanent solution from Congress for
Dreamers. 

With DACA's future in jeopardy amid court battles

and many young people not eligible, polling earlier this year

demonstrates overwhelming support for congressional action on
immigration reforms that address border management and security,
permanent legal solutions for undocumented immigrants who came to the
U.S. as children, and a legal, reliable agricultural workforce. About
80% of voters overall, including 76% of Republicans, supported such
reforms. 

Today, national security
,
law enforcement and
evangelical Christian

leaders are redoubling their support for Dreamers. Business leaders are
marking the anniversary with meetings with congressional offices this
week and a letter to Congress. And the Alliance for a New Immigration
Consensus , a group of some 40 grassroots organizations
across the faith, business, agriculture, education, national security,
and advocacy communities, is bringing a wider range of voices to the
table and pushing for bipartisan reforms, including for Dreamers.

"Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals has been an undisputed success
for American employers and communities, but with an asterisk: Its future
has never been certain," said

**Adam Estle, Vice President of Field and Constituencies at the National
Immigration Forum**. "We hear the call from every corner of the country:
Republicans and Democrats should work together on immigration reforms
that create an opportunity for Dreamers to earn legal status and
citizenship, alongside stronger border security and solutions for
America's farmers and ranchers. 

"DACA recipients and other Dreamers are an integral part of not only
America's businesses and economy, but also our churches and
communities. Congress must stop delaying and take action to solidify
Dreamers' contributions."
