Griffith Statement Regarding DACA
Statement
Issues: Executive Branch Immigration
"When President Obama created DACA, he overstepped his authority. In Article I, Section 8, the U.S. Constitution grants to Congress the authority to establish rules of immigration. President Trump recognized this authority by choosing to end the program after a six-month period that would allow Congress to work on the issue. I believe it is appropriate for President Trump to end this program in an orderly manner, for Congress to step forward with solutions to the many problems in our legal immigration process, and, most importantly, for Congress to provide for securing our southern border."
