The Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (HHCC) and other Texas based chambers of commerce have filed a brief opposing the termination of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and they present economic arguments. The brief has been filed to support DACA recipients who are involved in litigation about the program. The litigation has to do with a lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney general Ken Paxton. Alberto Cardenas works for the law firm Vinson and Elkins, which represents the HHCC and other groups that support the briefing, including chambers of commerce from cities such as Austin, El Paso and San Antonio, as well as the Texas Association of Business. Cardenas explained the brief is partly based on data and statistics from various sources, including the Federal Reserve and the Partnership for a New American Economy.
