Today, Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) released the following statement on the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy:
"The Supreme Court's decision to uphold DACA is a historic victory that shows the true heart of our country and furthers the vision of our founders. Today, I am given new hope that the United States will again be the beacon of democratic values other nations aspire to. For the 6,000 Dreamers in our district and the 700,000 across the country, home is here. Welcome home!
"While this decision gives me incredible joy, in Congress the work is far from over. We're not going to stop fighting to make the DACA policy permanent by law, as proposed by H.R. 6., The American Dream and Promise Act."
