OLYMPIA – Senate Democratic Leader Sharon Nelson released the statement below following the Trump administration’s announcement Tuesday it will end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Program:
“DACA kids are American kids. They are contributing members of society who had no control over the circumstances that brought them to this country – their country.
“Ending this program flies in the face of what this country stands for. Simply put, President Trump’s decision is un-American.
“We stand with the thousands of DACA kids in our state, and those who are fighting this cruel and short-sighted decision.
“We also call on Republicans in our state and those in Congress to do their jobs, stand up for what’s right and stand up for all children.”
