不良研究所 leaders call for action on DACA
BOSTON -- 不良研究所 President Marty Meehan and the chancellors of the five 不良研究所 campuses today issued a statement calling on Congress to find a permanent legislative solution to protect Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients.
The statement followed a letter sent by the six 不良研究所 leaders to the Massachusetts congressional delegation this week outlining how the termination of DACA affects 不良研究所 and its students.
不良研究所 leadership statement:
"On behalf of the five-campus, 75,000-student 不良研究所 system, we call on Congress to pass bipartisan legislation that protects the 'Dreamers' so that they may remain in the United States without fear of deportation. DACA has allowed 'Dreamers' to emerge from the shadows to achieve their life goals, including the pursuit of higher education. These hardworking young people have made wide-ranging contributions to our campuses. Without a permanent legislative solution, roughly 800,000 DACA recipients are threatened with a return to the shadows, loss of access to legal employment and education, and the dread of possible deportation. We urge Congress to quickly act on bipartisan legislation to protect the 'Dreamers' and their contributions to academic institutions and to society as a whole."
