In Utah, more than 16,000 DACA-eligible individuals and 6,000 TPS holders live, work, and contribute to our economy. In 2023 alone, DACA recipients contributed $63.6 million in state and local taxes, while TPS holders contributed an additional $20.1 million. Nationwide, the economic benefits of this bill are undeniable—granting legal status to Dreamers could increase the U.S. GDP by $799 billion over the next decade and create hundreds of thousands of jobs.
Utah has long championed policies that foster immigrant integration, recognizing that strong communities lead to a stronger state. This bill aligns with those values, offering stability to thousands of Utah families who have called this country home for decades.
The time is long overdue for this legislation to pass, join us in urging Utah's elected officials to support the American Dream and Promise Act of 2025 and advocate for its passage in Congress. Utah's future is stronger when we ensure that all who contribute to our state have the security and opportunity they deserve.
