This is also a promise that was made to young
people. If they worked hard and followed the rules and stayed out of
trouble and contributed to our country, either serving in the military
or going to school and working, they would have the right to be here
and be able to contribute to our country. Nationwide, we know there are about 800,000 young people who are
covered by DACA. In Michigan alone, we have over 10,000 young people--
10,000 young Dreamers--working hard and going to school, contributing
to our economy and our quality of life in Michigan. Many of them have
DACA status. Those are some of the numbers; however, we are not talking about
numbers here. We are talking about people's lives.
