John Cornyn â and the arrival of a Democratic president â a new Texas business coalition is launching to advocate for a permanent legislative solution for young people whose parents brought them illegally to the United States as children. In addition to the stateâs senior senator, the Texas Opportunity Coalition includes nearly three dozen chambers of commerce, other economic development groups and institutions of higher learning. They believe the moment is ripe in Washington, D.C., to end the yearslong uncertainty â prompted by executive action â and pass a federal âDREAM Actâ that would give permanent legal status to those known as âDreamers.â
