Rep. Barragan Statement on Trump's Immigration Principles
Statement
Issues: Immigration
Rep. Nanette Diaz Barragán (D-San Pedro) issued the following statement after President Trump released his immigration principles Sunday evening:
"These principles are a slap in the face to Dreamers everywhere who hoped Trump would stop treating them like bargaining chips.
Dreamers need the Dream Act, not another useless round of talk about a border wall, which would be ineffective and wasteful. Time is running out to find a solution for nearly 800,000 young men and women who came here as children. We should be looking for bipartisan areas of agreement. Instead, we got a cruel wish list of repressive and anti-immigrant measures.
My colleagues and I will not stop fighting for the Dream Act. Now the real fight begins."
