This isn't just a looming humanitarian crisis. It is also an economic
crisis. The nonpartisan Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy
reports that DACA-eligible individuals contribute an estimated $2
billion a year in State and local taxes. The Cato Institute, a
conservative operation, estimates that ending DACA and deporting DACA
recipients will cost $60 billion and result in a $280 billion reduction
in economic growth over the next 10 years. Poll after poll shows overwhelming bipartisan support for these
Dreamers. Even FOX News--no liberal media outlet--recently found that
79 percent of Americans support a path to citizenship for Dreamers,
including 63 percent of those who voted for President Trump.
