Congressman Jeff Denham (CA-10) on Tuesday joined Central Valley Dreamer Tomas Evangelista to reaffirm his support for Dreamers and the DACA program, and called on his colleagues in Congress on both sides of the aisle to join together to pass legislation to protect Dreamers facing the imminent threat of a DACA repeal. The DACA, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, program is under review. Pointing to the 25,000 DACA-eligible individuals living in Stanislaus, Merced, and San Joaquin counties, Congressman Denham emphasized that Dreamers are significant drivers of the local economy.
