Texas advocates 'optimistic' after Capitol Hill talks immigration workforce reform and DACA

Texas advocates for immigration workforce reform and DACA are now back from Washington D.C. with optimism for change after talking with federal lawmakers.

DACA:


Texas advocates for immigration workforce reform and DACA are now back from Washington D.C. with optimism for change after talking with federal lawmakers.

DACA:

Juan is a husband and one of 89,000 DACA or Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals recipients in Texas.

"I came when I was three and I depend on this work authorization every two years to pay my bills and my mortgage here in Texas — I’m optimistic because I know that law makers are sympathetic.”

We’ve shared his story before and his office — the American Business immigration Coalition — said fighting for DACA is a top priority for them.

He said, DACA was part of the conversations during their visit to Washington D.C. this week.

“There is an implicit recognition that at some point congress will have to address this issue," he said.

Juan also says midterm elections approach next year, the U.S. Supreme Courts reviewing the federal program and the potential for DACA ending looms.

“Both republican and democratic offices recognize that and so we have to go back and have this conversation again in August because by that time there might be more news about DACA," Juan said.

Ending the program would impact around half a million people with the fear of them not only losing protections from being deported and losing work authorizations here in the United States but some experts estimating billions in economic loss to our economy.

Juan said House judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan said he wants to have hearings on reforming visa programs including H-1B, H-2B and solutions to DACA but for now, Juan really encourages recipients to renew their DACA as soon as you can.

“We can not lose these workers because they will raise prices and make goods and services harder to get," the DACA recipient himself said on Thursday.

DACA was first created under the Obama administration.

Opponents to DACA say the program rewards illegal immigrants and it’s faced uncertainty and uphill battles in courts since President Trump’s first term in office.

We will continue to monitor the program to see what happens next.

Bro, If Jim Jordan is trying to find a solution for DACA, then thats a major policy shift from him.

At least we’re being mentioned.

All we can do is wait and see.. Stay tuned.

If Republicans actually fix the whole DACA situation is over for the Democrats.
