In fact, the majority of these are not Daca-eligible, so they are just trying to grant security to as few as possible.
"Therefore, we ask that you schedule a markup of a bill that only addresses the population with the most urgent need: active DACA recipients." The most urgently in need are all of the groups mentioned above keeping public health and the economy running. Time to contact Rep. Jayapal and Sens. Murray and Cantwell: No bill without an essential workers' bill.
P. S. A lof of undocumented in these groups are also child care and elderly home care workers.

No one is talking about essential workers any more. In the mind of many, the pandemic is over. A pathway for the current DACA population would probably be less controversial and more realistic to pass.
