His Executive action was a response to what we all acknowledge is a broken system. but it is no substitute for comprehensive immigration reform. Following the Presidents announcement. the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the Executive action program and heard the testimony of Astrid Silva. Hers is a fundamentally American story. It is similar in many ways to those of our parents and grandparents. It is a story of a family looking to find a better life. Astrid qualifies for the Presidents Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. DACA. program. And her parents would be eligible for the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents. DAPA. program because her younger brother is a U.S. citizen.
