Coffman Statement on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program Legislation
Statement
Issues: Minors and Children Immigration
U.S. House of Representative Mike Coffman (R-CO) released the below statement today after voting against legislation to prohibit the expansion of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program:
"While I oppose unilateral action and executive overreach by the President, I am voting no because I think the Congress missed an opportunity to pass DACA into law. Kids who grew up here, know of no other country, and were brought here through no fault of their own, deserve our compassion and an opportunity to earn a path to citizenship. I urge both parties to work together and find a path down the middle to fix our broken immigration system."
