Rep. Messer Issues Statement on DACA

0

U.S. Rep. Luke Messer (IN-06) issued the following statement today following President Trump’s announcement to phase out the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program:

“Hoosiers want us to follow the Constitution and uphold our immigration laws. President Trump’s decision today is a step toward finally addressing illegal immigration in our country,” Messer said. “Let’s remember, President Obama’s decision to unilaterally rewrite our laws was illegal. Now, Congress has its chance to pass legislation that secures our border, restores rule of law and delivers on our promises to the American people. The details of any legislation addressing DACA’s phase out will matter, and I am eager to get to work on a solution.”
