DACA is Literally the LEAST we can do: Here's Why Ending it is Stupid
"Dreamers are an economic boom"
"Dreamers have passed background checks, paid fees, stayed in school, obeyed the law, attended college, paid taxes, and served in the military. Dreamers and their families pay taxes just like everyone else, but in most cases they are not eligible for many of the benefits and services that citizens receive especially when it comes to education. Most are not eligible for federal or state aid."
"Extending hospitality to the dreamers costs America exactly nothing. In fact it’s a huge net gain to the economy."
