"Scores of businesses fight to keep "Dreamer' immigrants in US", 26 Oct 2017

Dozens of the world’s biggest multinationals and tech companies have launched a fight to help keep “Dreamers” in the US...“Without an immediate, permanent, legislative solution, roughly 800,000 Dreamers who are working, going to school, and serving in our nation’s military will lose their ability to work and study legally,”...The immigrants “will be forced from their jobs, and will be subject to immediate deportation from the country they grew up in”...According to FWD.US, a pro-immigration reform group co-founded by Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg, close to three-quarters of the 25 largest Fortune 500 companies employ DACA beneficiaries...Ms Ibarra-Frayre said she and other Dreamers were heads of their households, managing family finances because many of their undocumented parents could not. “My parents’ house is under my name.
