The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, marking its 12th anniversary, faces uncertainty as courts influence immigration policy. Advocates urge Congress to pass legislation protecting Dreamers, emphasizing their contributions to the economy and communities. Calls for a pathway to citizenship for DACA recipients persist amid ongoing challenges and the need for permanent solutions.
As we approach the 12th anniversary of #DACA, I was proud to give a speech on the House floor in recognition of our Dreamers. Dreamers are the foundation of our communities, always contributing to our rich diversity. I'm proud to stand with them during #ImmigrantHeritageMonth. https://t.co/elI8rszgU5
Tomorrow, it will have been 12 years since the announcement of DACA, which allowed some who were brought to the U.S. as children to live and work here. But Dreamers still have no certain future. Tell Congress it's past time they act: https://t.co/rXCvIynypc
U.S. businesses are at risk of losing critical employees if DACA ends. A total of 440,000 DACA-recipient workers and 168,000 additional U.S. workers employed in DACA-owned businesses could be lost. Learn more via @coalition_dream: https://t.co/XmKWBSjQCA https://t.co/GK6SXld3Sq
250,000 Documented Dreamers currently live on the brink of deportation. That's why @SenAlexPadilla and I led a bipartisan group of 43 lawmakers urging the Biden administration to take immediate action. https://t.co/3hlHNsDbJl
This week marks the 12th anniversary of #DACA, yet its future still hangs in the balance. New York is home to nearly 30,000 DACA recipients who have enriched our economy, our communities, and our city. It's time we ensure their futures with lasting solutions.
I wish I didn't have to give this speech. But Republicans have turned their backs on the Dreamers they claimed to support for years. Enough is enough. We must pass a permanent solution that gives DACA recipients the security and future that they have spent their lives earning. https://t.co/tPOu1CvAE0

🧵I led a letter to DHS Sec Mayorkas and AG Garland on recent reports of the Biden admin's purported “mass amnesty” for illegal aliens. The American people deserve transparency, accountability, and a comprehensive response to these concerns. https://t.co/qeJUV3lkoO
For Dreamers, the U.S. is home. Congress needs to pass a legislative solution so Dreamers and their employers, schools, churches and communities can live in certainty. https://t.co/1t3zwlJ17Z
DACA recipients and other Dreamers have deep roots in our communities. But 12 years after DACA was announced, they still live in limbo and don’t have a pathway to permanent status or citizenship. https://t.co/po91j1EBue
As the only member of Congress married to a DACA recipient, fighting for Dreamers is personal. Congress and POTUS, it's time to protect our mixed-status families and realize a future where all immigrants have a pathway to legal status. https://t.co/8lyGUc47mU

Saturday will mark the 12th anniversary of DACA, but currently the program’s future remains unknown. Dreamers contribute each & every day to our economy. Ending DACA would hurt our workforce & businesses. It’s time we protect Dreamers & provide them with a path to citizenship. https://t.co/zXodCOwMgx
Earlier today, I joined @AmericasVoice, @UNITEDWEDREAM, and @FWDus for a press conference ahead of the 12th anniversary of DACA. #HomeIsHere, and Dreamers are a vital part of our communities. It's time for a path to citizenship. https://t.co/69SZco4v2E
Today we celebrate 12 years of DACA, a program that has helped over half a million people who came to this country as children stay here legally. However, the fate of DACA is uncertain as courts steer immigration policy. Congress must act & pass legislation to protect Dreamers.
Action needed: Join us in our Week of Action and tell Congress that Dreamers and their communities have been waiting far too long for a legislative solution and certainty. https://t.co/rXCvIynypc
