As the Jan. 19 deadline for Congress to pass a budget nears, debate is heating up surrounding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
“Today the Republicans and Democrats in Congress shared their priorities for a bipartisan spending agreement,” said Sen A. Mitchell “Mitch” McConnell Jr. in a press release.
DACA, a 2012 executive order signed by President Barack H. Obama, allows some children of illegal immigrants to remain in the country without risk for deportation for a renewable period of two years. President Donald J. Trump ended the program in September.
“We had a positive and productive meeting and all parties have agreed to continue discussing a path forward to quickly resolve all of the issues ahead of us,” said House Minority Leader Nancy P. Pelosi (D.-Calif.) and Sen. Charles E. “Chuck” Schumer (D.-N.Y.) in a joint statement.
On Dec. 29, Trump specified some of his terms for keeping DACA.
The Democrats have been told, and fully understand, that there can be no DACA without the desperately needed WALL at the Southern Border and an END to the horrible Chain Migration & ridiculous Lottery System of Immigration etc. We must protect our Country at all cost!
