Washington, D.C.— While 2022 midterm votes are still being tallied, election results and recent polling already make clear Americans’ strong support for Dreamers. Data show a majority support bipartisan congressional action to deliver a legislative solution before the end of the year and before the impending end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
Miriam Feldblum, executive director of the Presidents’ Alliance, stated: “Securing Dreamers’ futures in this nation is a point of bipartisan consensus. A wide array of recent polling affirms that a strong majority of Americans across party lines continue to support the DACA program and Dreamers. Now, it’s up to Congress to make good on Americans’ wishes and to deliver before year’s end on a bipartisan legislative fix that will secure Dreamers’ futures and continued contributions to campuses, communities, and workplaces across America.”
