Ending DACA would result in a loss of $460.3 billion from the national GDP over the next decade, study shows

Forcing hundreds of thousands of individuals out of the workplace that the threat of ending DACA represents, is not only inhumane, it is in our economic self interest to not end it.  As the study cited herein by the Center for American Progress, ending DACA will send economic shockwaves through most states. 
Using data from two Center for American Progress publications—a report that estimates the gross domestic product (GDP) declines that would accompany removing all unauthorized workers from the country and a survey that estimates the share of DACA recipients who are employed—CAP estimates that ending DACA would result in a loss of $460.3 billion from the national GDP over the next decade. Ending DACA would remove an estimated 685,000 workers from the nation’s economy.
