So hopefully he's paying attention tomorrow, when a public letter, signed by more than 100 chief executives from some of America's most impactful businesses, urges politicians to pass legislation before January 19 that allows Dreamers to continue their lives in the USA unimpeded.
Chief executives of Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple - together known as GAFA - were joined by those from IBM, Microsoft, Coca-Cola, General Motors, AT&T, Marriott, Hilton and dozens of others signing the letter calling for protection for the "Dreamers".
In a letter dated January 10, the executives asked lawmakers to extend the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program by January 19, a month and half before it is set to expire.

Even diehard National Football League fans remember this more than the beat down the Indianapolis Colts delivered the Chicago Bears.
DACA was implemented in June 2012 by the Obama administration after the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, which would have given Dreamers a way to apply for permanent residency, failed to pass Congress. DACA grants Dreamers two years of deferred action from deportation and also makes them eligible for a work permit.
"We write to urge Congress to act immediately and pass a permanent bipartisan legislative solution to enable Dreamers who are now living, working, and contributing to our communities to continue doing so", the executives wrote in the letter. That's the same deadline that Congress has to pass funding to avert a government shutdown.
DACA is now set to expire on March 5th of this year, and the CEOs want Congress to pass legislation by January 19th. Failure to do so will not only result in upheaval, but may also potentially cost the US economy $215 billion, they said. The imminent termination of the DACA program is creating an impending crisis for workforces across the country. Trump had originally planned to end the DACA program altogether, but lawmakers are working on a "fix" for the program, with parameters agreed to by both parties. "Failure to act in time will lead to businesses losing valuable talent, cause disruptions in the workforce and will result in significant costs".
