DACA Hearing Underscores Need for a Permanent Solution  

**WASHINGTON, D.C.**- Wednesday's appeals court hearing on a
challenge to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) underscores
the tenuous nature of the program - uncertainty that Congress could
address by passing a permanent solution for Dreamers. 

The hearing follows the 10-year anniversary

in June of the announcement of DACA, an occasion on which 47 businesses
and business associations sent a letter to Congress

pushing for solutions. Numerous other leading voices, including national
security
,
law enforcement and
evangelical Christian

leaders also urged Congress to act.  

Recent polling

indicates that Americans overwhelmingly support congressional action on
immigration reforms that address permanent legal solutions for
undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children, known as
Dreamers, in addition to solutions for the agriculture sector and at the
border.  

"Americans are paying the price for the uncertainty around DACA," said

**Laurence Benenson, Vice President of Policy and Advocacy at the
National Immigration Forum**. "A court-ordered end to DACA
protections would not only send DACA recipients adrift but also
exacerbate employers' severe labor shortages and disrupt churches and
communities. 

"The need for a solution from Congress has been clear for many years.
Congress must allow DACA recipients and other Dreamers to earn permanent
status and eventual citizenship."
