SAN ANTONIO – The details, such as a pathway to citizenship still to be determined, but the new Texas Opportunity Coalition launched last week has come out in support of what could be a stand-alone Dream Act giving DACA recipients permanent legal status. The varied and bipartisan coalition includes leaders in business, manufacturing, education and communities statewide, among others. “What we do endorse at this point is that a bipartisan bill is better and more likely to pass,” Aldrete said. Andrea Ramos Fernandez, the business outreach manager for Texas Business Immigration Coalition, is a UTSA graduate and a DACA recipient herself. In Texas alone, we have 20,000 DACA recipient teachers.”Both she and Aldrete said the public is largely behind giving Dreamers permanent legal status, as well as growing bipartisan support.
