The Threat to Dreamers

Studies show that immigrants to the US contribute hugely, both socially and economically. In 2013, immigrants added $1.6 trillion to the total GPD. Economists have found immigrants actually increase the standard of living of all Americans.

In local communities, from Nebraska to South Carolina, immigrants create demand for small businesses and strengthen the economy. Immigrant entrepreneurs have played a significant role in advancing technological innovation.

800,000 young people who live in the US legally as a result of a scheme introduced by Obama to protect the children of undocumented parents from deportation. Trump has scrapped the plan and given congress six months to come up with an alternative, or else these young people will face deportation.

 These youngsters have studied, gotten jobs and paid taxes. More than 91 per cent are in employment. A study by the Centre for American Progress suggested losing these dreamers would cost the economy $433bn over the next 10 years.
