While the immigration debate rages on in Washington D.C., Colorado Senators Michael Bennet and Cory Gardner have introduced bi-partisan legislation they say addresses the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals program, also known as DACA, and would also increase border security. The legislation allocates $25 billion dollars to go towards increased border security measures, including President Trump’s wall, and would institute a 12 year pathway to citizenship for individuals who qualify for DACA. Gardner says Coloradans expect he and Bennet to work together to find a solution to the immigration issue, and he encourages his colleagues on both sides of the isle to support this bi-partisan approach to addressing our flawed immigration system. Bennet says this legislation is a reasonable solution to break through Washington gridlock and provide a compromise for Dreamers, with each side accepting things they don’t fully agree with to do find a solution to the DACA issue.
