An Open Letter
To: Rep. Barragán
From: A verified voter in San Pedro, CA
July 23
I urge you to add your name to the Dream and Promise Discharge Petition, HR 1598. This bill would protect millions of immigrant youth, DACA recipients and TPS holders and our economies.
The majority of Americans support a pathway to citizenship for our neighbors who have built their lives here, and the Dream and Promise act would allow that while protecting our economy. If DACA ends, as many as 440,000 DACA recipient workers could be pushed out of the U.S. workforce.
DACA recipients work in our hospitals, schools, restaurants, construction sites, and small businesses. Without protections, hundreds of thousands of American families face permanent separation. No young person should have to build a life on borrowed time, and no family should have to wonder if everything they have built will disappear overnight.
I urge you to add your name to the Dream and Promise Discharge Petition and urge you to lead with moral clarity and fight to protect the lives of working people.
Today, I ask you to protect the future of our communities and support the Dream and Promise Act!
