After DACA Ruling, Congress Must Offer Certainty to Employers, Workers

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the 5th Circuit ruled against the Deferred
Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, siding with U.S. District
Judge Andrew Hanen's July 16 ruling that the policy is unlawful.

The ruling sends the case back to Judge Hanen to determine the
legality of the Biden administration's new rule fortifying DACA
,
which is slated to take effect on October 31. The 5th Circuit's
ruling, however, allows about 600,000 DACA recipients to maintain their
protections pending a likely appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, while
continuing to block new applicants.

"While the 5th Circuit ruling temporarily keeps protections in place for
current DACA recipients, it indicates that DACA's days are numbered,"
said

**Laurence Benenson, Vice President of Policy and Advocacy at the
National Immigration Forum**. "The ruling further solidifies the reality
that Congress must provide certainty in the form of a permanent
legislative solution that would allow Dreamers to stay and work in the
country long-term."

Americans support action from Democrats and Republicans on bipartisan
legislation that would offer stability to DACA recipients and their
employers, as well as other Dreamers, together with other measures.
Nearly 80% of registered voters in a February poll

said they would support the two parties "working together on immigration
reforms that strengthen border security, create a pathway to citizenship
for undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children,
and ensure a legal, reliable workforce for America's farmers and
ranchers."
