FLAKE. Mr. President, I rise today with increasing concern about
the uncertain future facing DACA recipients. There are nearly 800,000
DACA recipients. They are children who were brought across the border,
through no fault of their own, years and years ago. There are nearly
800,000 across the country and nearly 50,000 just in Arizona alone. They have protections now from deportation, but those protections will
run out around the first of March. Despite the sense of urgency to solve the problem by the end of the
year, there is very little legislative progress to show for it. The
time has come for us to work together to deliver a real solution.
