WASHINGTON, DC (WHTC-AM/FM) – President Trump is calling on Congress to fix DACA.
On Tuesday, September 5, the President is rescinded the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals-program. The program will be phased out over six months.
Zeeland Congressman Bill Huizenga released the following statement on Monday:
“The only way to achieve concrete and lasting immigration reform is for Congress to formulate and pass bipartisan legislation. It is my hope that both Republicans and Democrats will rise to the challenge and focus on crafting solutions that move us forward instead of engaging in rhetoric that is geared toward dividing our nation. No matter how well-intentioned, by choosing to act unilaterally President Obama exceeded his constitutional authority when he created and implemented DACA. The Constitution is clear; the power to make law resides with Congress, not the President.”
DACA shields roughly 800-thousand undocumented “Dreamers” who were brought into the U.S. illegally as children.
