Two political advocacy groups connected with Charles and David Koch are reviving the discussions on the fate of young undocumented immigrants also known as Dreamers. The Koch brothers are among the mega donors of the Republican Party.

On Tuesday, Libre Initiative and Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, two components of the Koch network announced a seven-figure national campaign calling for a bipartisan legislation to protect Dreamers from deportation.

On Sunday, the Koch Network will start airing a nationwide advertisement calling on congressional leaders to take action and provide a permanent solution for Dreamers.

The advertisement entitled “What are we waiting for” features former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush making statements supporting immigration.

In the video, Pres. Obama said, “Our economy is stronger when we harness the talents and ingenuity of striving, hopeful immigrants.”

Pres. Clinton said, “We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws,”
