Statement on DACA Program
Statement
Issues: Executive Branch Immigration
Iowa Congressman David Youung release the following statement following the Trump administration's announcement to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program:
"America is not about one color, one ethnicity or one faith. America is a compassionate nation built on the foundation of self-government, the rule of law, freedom, and the liberties and rights given in our Constitution.
President Obama acknowledged his limited Constitutional authority with his executive order creating DACA. It is now up to Congress to address this matter and other issues related to immigration - from enforcement to employment practices to securing our borders. These are the powers afforded to Congress, not the President, by the Constitution."
