Hoyer Statement on the Trump Administration's Decision to End DACA
WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today after the Trump Administration announced its decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program with a six-month delay:
"This announcement, which in spite of its consequence President Trump chose not to make himself, signals a dark day in our nation's history. We ought not turn our backs on our values - or on our fellow Americans, who are truly so because this country is their home. With this announcement, it falls to Congress to take swift action and pass the DREAM Act, which would enable DREAMers to remain here with their families and communities and contribute to building, strengthening, and serving the nation they love. This issue ought to transcend party, and it challenges us to do right by our history and our future."
