Biz Groups Say Congress Must Do All It Can For DACA Kids

The heads of over 400 groups, including the American Business Immigration Coalition and the Presidents Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration, pressed Senate leaders Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to work together and pass the Dream Act of 2021, a decades-old proposal that would provide legal status to the 1.9 million undocumented immigrants who are colloquially known as Dreamers.
