No one is safe under President Trump’s Administration, and yesterday U.S Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly reaffirmed this notion when he told House Democrats that DACA was in “serious jeopardy.” Representative Martha McSally likes to claim that she supports DREAMers. As of matter of fact, she even confronted Secretary Kelly if his agency would protect DREAMers:
“‘These children were brought here at no fault of their own. In Arizona, there are 57,000 of them. They came forward to the government, they gave their personal information—where they live, their biometric data and finger prints—they graduate from high school and served in our military,’ said Rep. McSally. ‘Uncertainty brings fear to my constituents in this position. ‘Can you assure me that they will be protected?’” [Rep. Martha McSally press release, 6/07/17]
But in the 7 months of this new Congress, McSally has done the bare minimum to protect law-abiding immigrants, like the DREAMers she keeps promising to protect, from President Trump’s mass deportation force.
“Martha McSally’s empty promises of fighting for DREAMers and their families mean absolutely nothing when President Trump’s Administration continues to expand its cruel and heartless mass deportation force,” said Javier Gamboa of the DCCC. “House Republicans are in the majority and have made it clear that they would rather follow President Trump’s anti-immigrant lead than to do what’s right for our country. Make no mistake – during the midterm elections, Arizona voters will chose a true leader who will finally stand up to Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda and pass comprehensive immigration reform with a path to citizenship.”
