Representative Davis Releases DACA Statement

Congressman Rodney Davis released a statement Tuesday regarding the DACA decision by the Trump administration saying "Our immigration system is broken and it cannot be fixed simply by circumventing Congress and legislating through the Executive Branch as attempted by the Obama administration. We need stronger border protections and enforcement measures, which the House has already started to address. However, part of this broken immigration system includes people who were brought here illegally as children through no fault of their own and for many of them, America is the only country they have ever known." Adding that "President Trump has provided a timeline for Congress to address this issue and I hope together we can find a permanent, bipartisan solution that balances compassion and lawfulness.”
