In Repealing DACA, Trump Administration Acts "Appropriately," "Constitutionally"

Sep 5, 2017 1 min read

With the Trump administration's announcement Tuesday it will rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, The Heritage Foundation's Dr. James Carafano and Hans von Spakovsky released the following statement:

"In rescinding DACA, the administration acted appropriately and constitutionally by withdrawing from a program that was both illegal and irresponsible. In considering the way forward, Congress needs do the same. Securing the nation's broken borders, enforcing the law and fixing a flawed immigration system so that they better serve all Americans ought to be the first priority."
