(Washington, D.C.) – According to news reports, the White House is expected to announce a decision by the President to terminate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
"We have long believed in the important contributions made by immigrants towards building America and its future. Yet, today's immigration system is flawed and in need of durable reforms enacted into law, rather than unilateral executive actions.
Dreamers represent some of the best and brightest in our country. They are students and workers, earning their way and contributing to our families and communities. More executive actions that create uncertainty and worry for the many thousands of good people protected under the DACA program only undercut their potential. They may also hurt our economy, and take the focus of law enforcement away from truly bad actors, who threaten both Americans and the immigrant community.
