AAU joined the Coalition for the American Dream, a coalition of more than 100 top businesses and trade associations, in sending a letter to President Biden and congressional leaders urging swift passage of legislation that would create a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers.
Creating a legislative solution, the letter emphasized, would not only be the right thing to do but would provide a huge economic benefit to the United States. The letter cited polling that suggests that a majority of voters support legislation that would allow Dreamers to remain in the United States to work, attend school, and to join the military without fear of deportation. The devastating blow dealt to Dreamers by the latest court ruling “makes it all the more urgent that Congress take up and pass a legislative solution right away,” the letter stated.
