John,
This evening, **a federal court sided with an earlier ruling against
DACA**
,
sending the case to a lower court to consider it in the context of new
rules from the Biden administration. The court is allowing current DACA
recipients to maintain their status but continues to block additional
applications. The future of DACA remains as uncertain as ever.
The news from the Fifth Circuit court underscores the urgent need for
Congress to pass legislation creating a permanent solution for Dreamers.
For over a decade, Congress has failed to act, which has left DACA
recipients facing enormous uncertainty about their futures, with no
guarantee that their ability to live and work in the U.S. without the
threat of deportation will last.
**Take action now: tell your Senators that Dreamers are vital members of
our communities, and a permanent solution for them is long overdue.**
The precarious situation Dreamers face hasn't stopped them from making
**tremendous contributions**
to our economy and communities; tens of thousands of DACA recipients
work to feed America, care for patients, and educate our nation's next
generation.
There will be no certainty for Dreamers or their families, neighbors,
loved ones, and employers until Congress passes legislation creating a
pathway for them to establish permanent status. Dreamers are essential
members of our communities, and their contributions are critical to our
economy: DACA recipients own 68,000 homes, hold $25 billion in spending
power in the American economy, and contribute billions in federal, state
and local taxes each year.
**Tell Congress that it's time to protect Dreamers.**
Americans know the value Dreamers add to our nation. **Eight in ten
registered voters**
say Congress should pass legislation
**this year** to create a lasting solution for immigrants who came to
the U.S. as children.
**Reach out to your elected officials TODAY to tell them you're among
the majority of Americans who support permanent protections for
Dreamers.**
The message from Americans to Congress is clear: it's time to pass
bipartisan legislation so that Dreamers can finally have the stability
and permanence that they deserve.
Sincerely,
Arturo Castellanos-Canales
