DACA
Mr. MERKLEY. Mr. President, this morning we received news that the
Supreme Court has ruled in regard to our Dreamers, our Deferred Action
Childhood Arrival children, who came to America knowing no other
country, and now the Court has said that President Obama did have the
authority to establish the DACA Program and that President Trump does
not have a basis in law for ending it.
Hundreds of thousands of Dreamers now have full legal authority to
continue their lives in America--the country they know and love--and
pursue their dreams, and we must celebrate that today.
