You come forward, and you allow a
background check to proceed. You pass it, and you work legally in this
country. What kind of impact would play out in Pennsylvania if those 5,900
young people were to be lost because DACA would have ended? The cost for our State would be, by one estimate, $357 million. The
national number is extraordinarily high. For the 800,000 young people
who have lived in the United States since their childhoods, if DACA
ends, the national economy will lose more than $460 billion--that is
billion with a ``b'' as opposed to the Pennsylvania number, which is in
the millions--over the decade. So it would be, roughly, $46 billion or
so every year for 10 years. Why would we do that?
