"We
applaud the Trump administration’s announcement that it will continue
the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in its current
form.
We have previously thanked President Trump for his positive comments
about these talented individuals and asked him to take action to
officially protect them. This decision lifts a cloud of uncertainty for
hundreds of thousands of high-achieving and productive young people,
allowing them to continue to work, attend college and otherwise
contribute greatly to American society in countless ways for many years
to come.”
Update to President Broad’s DACA Statement
June 19, 2017
"We were gratified to see the Trump administration's formal notice
last week that the DACA program will continue. However, it was
disappointing that a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson
subsequently issued a statement that the program, nonetheless, remains
under review.
But that statement also reiterated the president's determination to
handle the issue 'with compassion and with heart.' We are optimistic
President Trump will continue his sympathetic treatment of these
exceptional young people as his administration and Congress work toward a
permanent solution to solidify their legal status in this country."
