If Trump Kills DACA, This Texas Business Owner May Lose Everything

September 03, 2017 (1 min read)

Julia Horowitz, CNN Money, Sept. 1, 2017 - "Nancy Ramos owns her own business in Fort Worth, Texas.  North Texas Hydromulch & Landscape Services has about 10 employees.  Ramos, who has run the firm for a year and a half, says it made about $1 million in revenue in its first eight months.  That's been great news for her three girls, ages eight through 11.  "We just bought the house. We bought our house a year ago," she said.  Now, Ramos said she feels like she's in limbo.  She worries she'll have to sell her business when her DACA work permit expires in December.  "As far as my driver's license, I won't be able to renew it again," she said.  "And I'm not going to be able to get the permits I need for work, [like] the insurance I need for my trucks. It's just so sad."  Ramos' parents brought her to Texas from Juarez, Mexico at age five."
