Koch-backed groups are reigniting a push for a permanent DACA solution
Read Original Source
WASHINGTON — A group of political action groups backed by the billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch are launching a seven-figure ad buy to revamp the push to provide a permanent solution for the undocumented immigrants benefitting from the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The LIBRE Initiative and Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce will announce on Tuesday the new ads, which feature several US presidents describing how America was built by immigrants.
AI Summary
Main Idea: Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, backed by Charles Koch and other Koch network groups, is starting a new ad campaign to push for a permanent DACA fix tied to stronger border security.
Key Points:
- The group is launching a seven-figure ad buy to renew pressure on Congress and the White House.
- The ads use messages from past U.S. presidents to stress that immigrants helped build America.
- The campaign calls for a bipartisan deal that gives DACA recipients lasting legal certainty.
- The Koch-backed network has long linked a DACA solution to added border security, and an earlier push to include both in a funding bill failed.
Impact on the People
Negative Impact
Tying DACA relief to border security could keep immigration fights in Congress alive and delay help for Dreamers, workers, and families.
Positive Impact
Koch-backed groups may add pressure for a permanent DACA deal, which could give many young immigrants more stability and help employers keep workers.
