DACA Protection Bill Proposed by NM Lawmakers

A BILL THAT WOULD PROTECT DACA RECIPIENTS PERMANENTLY IS BEING SPONSORED BY NEW MEXICO’S CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION. THE DREAM AND PROMISE ACT WOULD PROTECT THE 2-AND-A-HALF MILLION IMMIGRANT CHILDREN ILLEGALLY BROUGHT INTO THE U-S. AND EVEN THOUGH PRESIDENT TRUMP ENDED THE PROGRAM STARTED BY FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, DACA IS BEING UPHELD BY COURT RULINGS RIGHT NOW.

NEW MEXICO LAWMAKERS SPONSORING BILL ARE ASSISTANT SPEAKER BEN RAY LUJAN ALONG WITH REPRESENTATIVES DEB HAALAND AND XOCHITL TORRES SMALL.
