RE: REQUEST TO NOT END DEFERRED ACTION FOR CHILDHOOD ARRIVALS FOR DREAMERS Dear President-Elect Trump: On behalf of the 868 undersigned national, state, and local religious, civil rights, ethnic, and immigrant rights organizations, we ask your Administration to continue Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which provides employment authorization and protection from deportation for certain undocumented immigrants who entered the United States before the age of 16 and have deep familial, economic, and social ties to our country. Supported by 58% of the American public and originally established through a June 15, 2012 memorandum by 1 then-Secretary Janet Napolitano, DACA has become one of our nation’s most successful 2 immigration policy initiatives, providing relief to over 741,546 individuals while fostering economic growth and strengthening national security.

January 18, 2017 The Honorable Donald J. Trump 1717 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, D.C. RE: REQUEST TO NOT END DEFERRED ACTION FOR CHILDHOOD ARRIVALS FOR DREAMERS Dear President-Elect Trump: On behalf of the 868 undersigned national, state, and local religious, civil rights, ethnic, and immigrant rights organizations, we ask your Administration to continue Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which provides employment authorization and protection from deportation for certain undocumented immigrants who entered the United States before the age of 16 and have deep familial, economic, and social ties to our country. Supported by 58% of the American public and originally established through a June 15, 2012 memorandum by 1

then-Secretary Janet Napolitano, DACA has become one of our nation’s most successful 2

immigration policy initiatives, providing relief to over 741,546 individuals while fostering economic growth and strengthening national security. The continued existence of DACA is of

3

particular importance in light of the introduction of the Bar Removal of Individuals who Dream and Grow our Economy (BRIDGE Act), which would provide interim relief to this population. 4

The protection of these individuals has strong historical bipartisan support, would foster continued economic growth, aligns with your Administration’s national security goals, and would represent a genuine overture to the Latino and immigrant communities. Historically, there has been significant bipartisan support to provide relief for the type of individuals protected under DACA, e.g. young adults and children who entered the United

States before the age of 16. Most recently, this support has manifested through the introduction of the BRIDGE Act by Senators Lindsay Graham (R-SC) and Dick Durbin (D-IL). The BRIDGE Act would provide provisional protected presence for individuals who currently hold or are eligible for DACA, granting employment authorization and protection from deportation. While DACA should continue regardless of whether the BRIDGE Act is enacted into law, its introduction signals the deep commitment that our nation has to these individuals. Preserving DACA also represents a good deal for our nation’s economy. Eighty-seven percent of DACA recipients are employed by American businesses. Critically, forcing businesses, including

5

small businesses, to terminate the employment of nearly one million individuals who they have trained and invested in represents a significant economic disruption, with employers estimated to incur $3.4 billion in turnover costs. Terminating the employment authorization of 741,546 6

individuals—87% of whom are employed—would lead to the loss of $24.6 billion in Social Security and Medicare contributions over a decade. Furthermore, ending DACA would destroy 7

a staggering $433.4 billion from the GDP cumulatively over a decade. 8

Importantly, the continued implementation of DACA represents sound policy to significantly improve our nation’s national security and public safety. In terms of national security, the Armed Forces rely on DACA recipients who are fluent in critical languages or possess medical professional skills essential to the defense of our nation to serve. Moreover, DACA recipients,

9

by definition, have all been individually vetted for criminal, public safety, and national security concerns. In terms of public safety on our nation’s roads, DACA has reduced the number of

10

unlicensed drivers on our roads, with 90% of DACA recipients obtaining a driver’s license or state identification card as a result of DACA. Moreover, access to driver’s licenses and vehicles

is directly related to increased public safety through an increase in insured and licensed drivers.

12

Finally, the continued existence of DACA would represent a serious overture to the Latino and immigrant community. Forty-one percent of DACA recipients have immediate family members who are over the age of 18 and U.S. citizens, 80% of whom are registered to vote. DACA’s

13

continued existence represented a significant motivator for Latino voters in the recently concluded 2016 elections and, likely, in future elections as well. Ending DACA would adversely

14

affect DACA recipients and their U.S. citizen relatives in every state, including Florida (29,384), Arizona (27,088), North Carolina (26,752), Nevada (12,503), Virginia (11,319), Wisconsin (5,118), Michigan (4,215), and Pennsylvania (3,646).

15

DACA represents one of our nation’s most successful immigration initiatives. Ending DACA would cause the unprecedented disruption to nearly one million individuals who contribute to our economy, have deep ties to our community and consider themselves American. As you said in your election night victory speech, “I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans.” Preserving DACA would be a powerful first step toward fulfilling

16

that promise. Thank you for your consideration of this request. If you have any questions, please contact Jose Magaña-Salgado at [email protected] or 202-777-8999 or Jill Marie Bussey at [email protected] or 301-565-4844.
