And 900 soldiers would lose their ability to
volunteer to risk their lives for America's future. This isn't just a looming humanitarian crisis; it is an economic
crisis. More than 91 percent of DACA Dreamers are gainfully employed
and paying taxes. Many of them are students; yet they are still
gainfully employed because they don't qualify for Federal assistance
for higher education, so they have to work jobs, sometimes many jobs. 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 in Washington, estimates that ending DACA and deporting DACA
recipients will cost the economy $60 billion and result in a $280
billion reduction in economic growth over the next decade. Poll after poll shows overwhelming bipartisan support for the
Dreamers. FOX News found that 79 percent of Americans support a path to
citizenship for Dreamers, including 63 percent of Trump voters.
