Report: 700,000 Jobs at Risk if Trump Ends DACA

President Donald Trump is currently weighing an end to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, but a new report warns that it could cost 700,000 jobs.

Axios released an advanced report Tuesday morning, based on research from the Center for American Progress, the Cato Institute, and from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's FWD.us, showing that 91 percent of DACA recipients, or 700,000 people, have jobs. Should Trump decide to cease the program, "1,400 people per business day will lose their authorizations to work."

Well atleast they'll go to unqualified American Citizens or H1Bs

I know my Department, if this were to happen, is losing about 5-7 Firefighters, including a Lieutenant. But sadly everyone is replaceable.

American born citizens are some of the laziest people on the planet. I work with immigrants and they take their job seriously. Anytime my job hires citizens they are lazy as hell and quit in less than a month.

DACA recepients know the value of the American Dream and don’t take jobs for granted.

DACA can be firefighters?

Had no clue

Makes sense. The American Dream was achieved by immigrants at the beginning anyway.

I mean with you and the PMs I have I'm wondering now if it's just my department or state? I mean and it's not like I live in Cali or something, I'm from FL.

I know police for a fact you need citizenship. I'm also supposed to receive a medal on February

EDIT: I now remember Durbin took a DACAer that was a SGT in a Police department, so I'm guessing it depends on the Department's hiring policies..

9% unemployment huh? Better than some red states.

Lol some Republican said that all those jobs would now go to citizens lol. I forget which one. Let me look it up.

She said ending DACA would create jobs for 700,000 U.S. citizens.

these people who are crying are the ones who wants everything handed to them. waaaaa immigrants took my job waaaaaa i cant get a job. yeah sure. i'm sure it has to do with qualifications and nothing to do with being a citizen or not. ughh
