This has been an effort that has been led by Members on both
sides of the aisle because many--unfortunately, not enough yet--on both
sides of the aisle believe that these young people are American in
their values and in their commitment to this country. They will
contribute to this country. They already are. There seems to be this illusion that we have until March 5, the
official end date for DACA, to continue to try to
fix this problem. There are others who seem to believe that this
crisis, which was prompted by President Trump's decision, is an
opportunity to gain concessions in other areas. This approach of
waiting to try to game the crisis is wrong.
