Congressman Aguilar's language, which passed by voice vote
in the course of committee markup, was adopted according to regular
order. The provision is straightforward. It simply clarifies that DACA
recipients be eligible for Federal employment. Yet, without any
explanation, this section has disappeared as if it never existed. Given
the administration's shameful decision to rescind the DACA program, I
anticipate that we will rigorously debate this issue over the next
couple days. Again, while I cannot support this bill, I remain committed to
working with my colleagues on the majority side to strengthen funding
and remove harmful and unnecessary riders.
