  • “We have 89,000 DACA recipients who contribute $6 billion in spending power and pay $1.3 billion in taxes,” Juan Carlos Cerda, a DACA recipient and Texas director at the American Business Immigration Coalition, told CBS Texas. “Most of them would probably have to leave the state if they weren’t able to renew their work authorization.”

    No work eligibility, no in-state tuition rates for students, no ACA coverage, and we’re just starting to see the cracks in the system.

    They’re basically on standby until they go to an appointment for document review and summarily deported. I hope all the retirees that voted for this enjoy the holes in the workforce and tax base they created. And that’s just a scratch compared to the human crises being created in the wake of these policies.
