Today marks 14 years since DACA first opened doors and opportunities for hundreds of thousands of young people who know America as their home.
For 14 years, DACA recipients have strengthened our communities, contributed to our economy, powered our workforce, started businesses, and raised families. They have enriched our nation in countless ways while living with uncertainty about their future.
DACA recipients have done everything asked of them and more. They came forward, passed background checks, and placed their trust in a promise that they could build their lives in the country they love. Fourteen years later, they are still waiting for Congress to act.
Their futures should not be defined by uncertainty or political gridlock. They deserve the stability, security, and opportunity that come with permanent protections and a pathway to citizenship.
Today, we celebrate the contributions of DACA recipients and recommit ourselves to building an immigration system that reflects our values, respects the dignity of immigrants, and recognizes that America is stronger because of them.
