WASHINGTON – This morning, U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, discussed the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

“As you've heard from a number of senators on both sides of the aisle today, we really hope we will be able to find our way towards a resolution that addresses some of the unsettled issues here, that gives some certainty to you and many other Dreamers,” said Senator Coons. “I've been a sponsor of the Dream Act in the past and support it. It is my hope that we will find a way to negotiate a responsible compromise and embrace the moment here sooner rather than later and move forward and give predictability to folks who hope to and are already contributing to the United States and to our future.”
