Whereas young people, in particular, provide inspiration in 
their pursuit of the American dream; 
Whereas an estimated 1.4 million young immigrants are eligi-
ble to benefit from the Deferred Action for Childhood Ar-
rivals (DACA) program; 
Whereas since the DACA program was launched in 2012, 
over 664,000 young people have been reviewed and ap-
proved by Federal officials to receive temporary and re-
newable work permits and Social Security numbers so 
they can contribute to the country of which they feel the 
most a part; 
Whereas 92 percent of DACA-eligible students over 18 years 
of age have at least a high school education; 
Whereas these young individuals provide a positive economic 
impact to the United States, with a recent report finding 
that nearly 49 percent opened their first bank account, 
45 percent had increased job earnings, and 33 percent 
obtained their first credit card; 
Whereas the economic, personal, and social impacts of the 
President’s DACA program display the overall benefits to 
our Nation; 
Whereas while these young immigrants continue to advance 
and develop themselves, 76 percent still express concern 
about close, equally hardworking, family members being 
deported; 
Whereas the President has a plan to expand the highly suc-
cessful DACA program and include the parents of citizen 
and lawful permanent resident children through the De-
ferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Per-
manent Residents (DAPA) program; and

•HRES 327 IH 
Whereas the personal and economic success of DACA recipi-
ents, and the economic and fiscal benefits of the ex-
panded DACA and DAPA programs, are projected to re-
sult over the next 10 years in gains in the gross domestic 
product of $230,000,000,000, create 28,814 jobs per 
year, and increase the income of all people in the United 
States by $124,000,000,000: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes the three-year anniversary of the 
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) pro-
gram, which permits young people who were brought 
to the United States by their parents as children to

ling story of all immigrants to our country;

porate and integrate hardworking immigrants in our 
country, then the country only stands to benefit; 
(4) recognizes that the President’s DACA pro-
