- "Congress must ask now to confirm and protect Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. These young people are American in every sense, except on paper. They arrived to America as children, by no fault of their own. To be covered under the DACA program, these folks must go through extensive background checks. Not a single one of them have a criminal record. Upwards of 90% of them are employed. Many are students. Some are even serving our country in uniform. We made a promise to these remarkable young people that they could stay in America legally and build a life for themselves. It is out duty to honor these Undocumented Americans and keep our promise. Congress must act on DACA now." (lincolnsoldati.com)
