Over 1,300 Catholic Educators Call on Trump Administration to Save DACA
and Protect Dreamers
Dear Gen. Kelly: As educators at Catholic institutions, we
write to convey profound concern for our vulnerable immigrant
students. In your new position as Chief of Staff, you are now
one of the most prominent Catholics in the Administration. Your direct line to President Trump and recent experience as
Secretary of Homeland Security provides an opportunity for
you to be an influential champion for the children and youth
who are the next generation of American leaders. We ask that
you protect the dignity of our nation's immigrant youth by
advocating for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
(DACA) program until Congress passes the Dream Act. We stand with our students who are DACA beneficiaries. Their perseverance, hard work and hopefulness is an example
to us as teachers. We witness the obstacles they overcome
each day as they pursue their dream of a better life for
themselves and their families.
