Clearly, this agency should be giving these young
people a chance. Once again, they have done everything they can think
of to comply with the law and trust our government. They trusted our
government to give them DACA status to allow them to stay in the United
States, and they trusted the Postal Service, in a matter of 2 weeks, to
be able to deliver a letter. Yesterday I spoke to the USCIS Director, Francis Cissna, and I asked
him about this. I said to him: There must be a way for us to
acknowledge the obvious. These young people, in good faith, did
everything we could ask of them to comply with the law, and now they
have been rejected. Now they are subject to deportation because the
Postal Service didn't do its job. I asked him: Are you prepared to at
least reconsider this decision and give them a chance to renew their
DACA status? He said he was aware of the situation and that it was being
considered at the highest levels of the Department of Homeland
Security. I raise this issue because real lives are at stake.
