This enforcement surge is a barely
disguised purge. This is not leadership. Leaders should not be in the
business of inciting fear and sowing hate and division. Instead,
leaders should be about creating smart public policy based on facts. So
here are some of the facts. It is a fact that there are 700,000 DACA recipients, 200,000 of whom
are in California alone. It is a fact that the Dreamers have been extensively vetted before
they have qualified for DACA. They have gone through a process. They
have turned over copious amounts of paperwork with incredible detail. They have gone through background checks.
