After saying he’d show “great heart” for the 800,000 DREAMers who arrived in the U.S. as children and received relief from deportation under an Obama-era program called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), Donald Trump may soon decide to fulfill the dreams of white supremacists instead: his administration is expected to make an announcement about—and potentially end—the DACA program on September 5th. This means that 800,000 American lives could become fresh fodder for Trump’s deportation machine.
There are DACAmented youth in every state, represented by the same members of Congress as everyone else. Congress has a responsibility to shield the 800,000 DACA grantees who are now at risk.
Tell Senator Scott to oppose Trump's possible ending of the DACA program and also co-sponsor the “DREAM Act” (S.1615 / H.R.3440) to give DACA recipients and others who arrived in the United States as children a path to permanent lawful status and eventual citizenship.
