This Wednesday the Democratic Senator from Massachusetts Elizabeth Warren said that she is very happy with the recent direction that the Dream Act has taken after a federal judge verdict was given to block President Trump from putting an end to Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
Warren expressed her opinion on the issue in an interview on CNN’s show “New Day.”
“What I was glad to see is that we are moving forward on getting a clean Dream Act,” Warren told the host of the show Alisyn Camerota.
“These young Dreamers are in peril only because President Trump broke America’s promise. Years ago America promised that if these young people would come out of the shadows and they would be fully vetted, then they would have the opportunity to go to school here in America, they would have the opportunity to get jobs, to join the military, to become a full part of the American fabric,” she then added.
The Hill reported that the judge responsible for keeping this program safe, William Alsup, said on Wednesday that DACA must remain in place as litigation over the president’s decision to end the program takes place.
This move makes it possible for the DACA recipients who were not able to renew their status by last year’s deadline to have another chance to do so now by submitting renewal applications.
Trump started his reign against the Obama program in September but it turns out all of it was for nothing.
The program’s essential function is to permit certain immigrants who arrived in the United States illegally as children to stay and work in the States without being deported.
On Tuesday, President Trump said that he wants, as he says, a “bill of love” to address DACA after he appeared to voice support for the California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein’s proposal of a clean DACA bill.
