Statement from Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Mayors' National DACA Day of Action

Mayor's Press Office    312.744.3334

“Over the past five years DACA has allowed 800,000 DREAMers to make countless contributions to cities and towns across the country. Ending DACA would not only disrupt the lives of these young residents, it would weaken our security, damage our economy, and erode our moral authority. The United States is a nation of immigrants and I am proud to be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with mayors from across the country on the Mayors’ DACA National Day of Action, and every day, for the values that make us great and the principles that are the bedrock of the American Dream."
