They have started businesses. They have bought homes. They are raising
families. In Colorado, over 17,000 young people came forward to take the
government at its word, to share their information, and to apply for
deferred action. Each one of them placed their faith in us to protect
them and their families until we came to a long-term solution about
their status. Today, President Trump has betrayed that trust. Worse,
his decision to rescind DACA betrays the very character of our country. America does not strip parents from their children. We do not strip
brothers from sisters. America does not round up neighbors to send them
to places they have not known since they were 2 years old or 6 months
old, if they knew them at all.
