Speaking on the chamber floor about the immigration bill, Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (-NVNV) criticized Republicans who do not support a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) fix. DACA was an Obama administration executive order that allowed undocumented migrants who arrived in the U.S. as children, also known as “DREAMers.” President Trump rescinded DACA, effective March 5, 2018. She said what she called “the party of Donald Trump” was not about family values. She said that under the Trump administration, Republicans were picking and choosing which families enter the U.S. She was followed by Senator Martin Heinrich (D-NM) who promised to do everything within his means to pass legislation protecting DREAMers. close
