Ben Cardin: ‘We Need to Protect the DACA Children’

EXCERPT:

CARDIN: "Well there might be. But let me just say the DACA children already have protection in the workforce. What the president is doing is taking away that protection that they have today, that certainty that they have under the DACA program. It's temporary program, but they're protected in the workforce. So, they are working. So, I -- I wasn’t sure what he was referring to. Yes, we should pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform. It should deal to make sure people have status here in the United States as a pathway to citizenship. Those types of issues should be dealt with -- with Comprehensive Immigration Reform. But at a minimum we need to protect the DACA children."
