Obama Administration: Daca Recipients and Right Thing

obama administration: The GOP lawmakers, in a letter to Ryan, pressed for quick action, according to Metro News. We must pass legislation that protects DACA recipients from deportation and gives them the opportunity to apply for a more secured status in our country as soon as possible, the lawmakers wrote. Ryan has said he does not see a need to act before March, the deadline President Donald Trump gave Congress to find a permanent solution after he suspended the temporary protections against deportation granted by the Obama administration. Reaching across the aisle to protect DACA recipients before the holidays is the right thing to do. Now, this similar show of support from Republicans, including some from competitive House districts, complicates some of the end-of-the-year negotiations to keep the government open. Democrats repeatedly have pressed for a legislative solution, arguing these immigrants are facing an uncertain future. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
