‘daca’

Today Congressman Curbelo went chasing headlines and refused to support a budget deal that did not find a solution for DREAMers. That’s nice, but here’s the catch: Congressman Curbelo has repeatedly refused to support the DREAM Act, a bipartisan bill with 200 cosponsors, including his immediate neighbor, Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. If Curbelo is truly looking […]

DREAM Act opponent Darrell Issa is at it again, attacking DREAMers and their families. This time it was during an interview where he once again said that he would not support the bipartisan DREAM Act because “it goes too far” and then bizarrely blamed DACA recipients’ parents by suggesting they were the “victimizers” of their […]

During Congress’ long recess, vulnerable House Republicans drew harsh backlash from their constituents for refusing to support the only bipartisan and bicameral DREAM Act. Protesting outside their district offices and delivering petitions, concerned constituents reminded their elected officials that they must do what’s right, protect the DREAMers in their community and support the DREAM Act. […]

***Similar releases were sent to targeted districts*** House Democrats have taken another major step to protect the 800,000 law-abiding DREAMers that President Trump put at risk when he ended DACA.

That’s […]

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT “Let’s be clear: House Republicans went after DACA the moment it was signed by President Obama, and helped pave the way for President Trump’s mass deportation machine, which is now poised to target DREAMers,” said Javier Gamboa of the DCCC. “House Republicans’ long record of hostility toward immigrants has put […]

Shutting down the government  in order to stick American taxpayers with the bill for a border wall that few people actually want is both morally bankrupt and politically stupid. Yet, that’s exactly what President Trump suggested yesterday during his unhinged campaign rally in Arizona. Further cementing bigotry into policy, Trump indicated that he is likely […]

This week, the nation watched in disgust as President Trump again apologized for and excused the racist white supremacists who rallied in Charlottesville over the weekend. Meanwhile, thousands of DREAMers, concerned constituents, faith and local leaders rallied outside of Republican Representatives’ offices throughout the country to demand the protection of DACA and to hold House […]

  On the Anniversary of DACA and less than a month before the deadline that Republican Attorneys General gave President Trump to rescind DACA, the DCCC is launching a new Twitter campaign in several of the nation’s most competitive districts with notable Latino populations to encourage people, especially DACA recipients and DREAMers, to mobilize and […]
