Employing and Supporting DACA Beneficiaries

The retail industry employs thousands of DACA program recipients.  Dreamers’ contributions were particularly evident during COVID-19, as Dreamers were among those who helped to keep stores open, stocked, and safe. These hardworking individuals are part of the social fabric of America and part of the retail family; they are our friends and neighbors. Today’s decision gives these workers some hope that the program they depend upon to work legally in the country that is their home can be saved. RILA implores Congress and the Administration to seek an immediate and long-term remedy to address the legal status of DACA participants.
