WASHINGTON, D.C.–Hispanic Leadership Fund President, Mario H. Lopez issued the following statement in response to today’s filing of the Discharge Petition in the US House of Representatives:
“The Hispanic Leadership Fund applauds Republican Representatives Carlos Curbelo, Jeff Denham, and Will Hurd in leading the charge to having an open and robust debate in the House of Representatives about a legislative fix addressing DACA recipients and other Dreamers.
“The best research proves that Dreamers are making a positive impact to our economy by graduating schools, joining the workforce, and starting their own business in faster rates than non-immigrant Americans. Addressing their situation in a constructive way will allow them to continue contributing to the American economy and is therefore in the best interests of our great nation as a whole.”
