Most of the top 25 Fortune 500 companies employ
Dreamers, and that is why more than 400 CEOs of major U.S. companies
have urged Congress to pass the Dream Act. If Congress fails to act, it will cost us 700,000 jobs--as many as
30,000 jobs a month--causing chaos for employers, and we could see a
$460 billion decrease in economic output over a decade. Social Security
and Medicare contributions could drop by $39.3 billion over the same
period. In my State, New Mexico would lose nearly 6,000 DACA workers and take
a $385 million hit. We simply cannot afford it. We have a bipartisan Dream Act before us.
