Rather than giving Congress time to legislate President Obama's work visa program for undocumented immigrates brought to the country as children [â¦] The Dreamers affected by this action came to the U.S. as children and many of them have no memory of their country of origin, do not speak the language, and no longer have family there. It would be cruel and unjust to ship them away from the home they have known for years." (votesmart.org)
