I demand you co-sponsor the bipartisan DREAM Act. From our school teachers to our neighbors next door, the DREAM Act would return stability, dignity, and safety to many of my immigrant neighbors and their American families who make their homes in our community.
This isn’t just about ensuring that families are safe from separation and deportation — it’s about doing all in your power to ensure businesses and communities can also continue thriving.
We face the most dangerous moment in DACA’s 13-year history, with unlawful detentions and attempts to limit access to education and healthcare. For more than a decade, DACA has allowed hundreds of thousands of young people to pursue higher education, secure stable jobs, start businesses, buy homes, and contribute to industries facing critical labor shortages — from healthcare and education to technology and agriculture. Ending DACA could push 440,000 workers out of the labor force, costing the U.S. up to $648 billion in long‑term economic losses; these same DACA recipients would benefit from the DREAM Act.
You have a responsibility, and a real pathway, to protect millions of people who contribute to our communities and economy every day.
I insist you take action to keep our families and communities together. Help deliver permanent protections for millions by supporting the DREAM Act today!
