The Hill: Trump calls on Supreme Court to strike down DACA

Team: The fate of hundreds of thousands of young people is at stake as the Supreme Court debates the future of DACA and the Dreamers the program has helped to create a life in our country.

Since President Obama established DACA, more than 900,000 young immigrants have applied for the program. These Dreamers have gone through an intense vetting process and thorough background check to receive protection from deportation while given a temporary work permit. Reports show that DACA recipients contribute $42 billion in annual GDP. For many, the United States of America is the only home they have ever known. They were brought as children to this country by family members desperate for the opportunity at a better future.

But now all of that is at risk. Trump and Republican AGs are obsessed with destroying President Obama’s legacy and don't care who they hurt in the process ⁠– even children.

That’s why Democratic AGs have been fighting back since day one, suing to protect Dreamers from deportation and ensuring that the DACA program continues to exist. But they can’t do it alone.
