CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/DACA/IMMIGRATION/JOE BIDEN: “For over eight years, DACA has given hundreds of thousands of young immigrants who came to this country as children the chance to contribute to the country they know as home. And with that opportunity, they have shown the incredible capacity of the immigrant spirit. Today, DACA recipients are engineers, doctors, and lawyers. They have succeeded at the highest levels of academia. Many have started their own small businesses, which pay taxes and provide jobs for U.S. citizens. Nearly a third of all current DACA recipients are essential workers helping our communities respond to the COVID19 pandemic. Nearly 30,000 of them are front-line health care workers.”
