Leaders of some of the country’s biggest companies signed a letter Saturday urging President Trump not to make a new attempt at revoking the Obama-era DACA deportation amnesty, saying it would be a significant disruption to lose those employees during the coronavirus recovery.
The companies, which range from Apple and Amazon to Target and General Motors, said the illegal immigrant “Dreamers” who are able to work due to the DACA program “have been critical members of our workforce, industries and communities for years now.”
“This is no time to disrupt the economic recovery of our companies and communities, nor time to jeopardize the health and safety of these vulnerable individuals,” wrote the leaders, who call themselves the Coalition for the American Dream. “We ask that you leave DACA in place and refrain from taking any additional administrative actions that would negatively impact the DACA program.”
As of March, more than 640,000 Dreamers were protected by the DACA program, which prevents deportation and grants work permits and some taxpayer benefits.
The Trump administration in 2017 announced a phaseout of the program, but that was put on hold by the courts, and last month the Supreme Court ruled the phaseout illegal, saying the administration cut too many corners.
But the court said the administration does have the power to end DACA, as long as it does it properly.
On Friday, Mr. Trump and the White House sent mixed signals about what’s in store.

Back in 1978 I met the son of King Hussein the Monarch of Jordan at a party, so a Prince mind you that was worth billions, was going to Kent State on our dime to become a city planner. Apartment, furniture, clothes, cars, books and tuition paid for buy us the U.S. taxpaying suckers. H3ll they actually gave him an American Express card. He actually thought it was wrong but his culture/family thinks it would be a dishonor done to or “leaders” not to except. Anytime you see any leaders here from the ME it is on our dime.
Because I think he is doing a carrot and the stick approach to replace DACA and they know some of their employees will be deported
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. Deferred means “Do it later”, not “Do it never”. obama/soetoro/whatever his real name is started it in 2012. 8 years later is “later” enough. Deport now!
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, DACA, illegally gave them work permits, it did not change their status, they are still illegal aliens.
The action deferred is their deportation.
Time is up.
I see.
I’ll bet anything that unless they have a criminal record, not a single “dreamer” will be deported. Guaranteed!
There is no public support for deporting people brought here as children who have barely lived in any other country.
We are not deporting anyone but the worst criminals now.
Better learn Spanish and welcome to North Mexico, gringo is it.
Si - es verdad (true); in my area, service jobs dealing with the public (cashiers, bank tellers, realtors, sales, etc.) practically require it.
