Congressman Kweisi Mfume Issues Statement on DACA Ruling

July 20, 2021

Rep. Kweisi Mfume (D-MD) released the following statment on a Federal judge's ruling declaring Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is unconstitutional.

"Dreamers didn't choose to come here. Dreamers chose to stay here because they love this country, it's the only one they know. Whether as a fifth-grader, fire fighter or member of our armed services, whether a laborer, a waitress or med-student, dreamers are all ages and pursue all professions, they are the building blocks of America, and we should provide pathways to citizenship for them. I remain in solidarity with them in their struggle to strive for the American dream," said Congressman Kweisi Mfume.
