Southwest Missouri Democrats issue call to arms before DACA deadline

(From Southwest Missouri Democrats)


The DEADLINE for Congress to ACT on DACA is March 5th. Please call our legislators regarding DACA. Let them know that any plan that sends 800,000 people back to countries that are in no way their home is unacceptable. The great majority of DACA recipients are contributing members of their communities.

Ending DACA will lead to deportations of productive young people. Please also note when you call our legislators... Trump's proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border will do nothing to stop illegal immigration and is a waste of tax payer funds.
Urge U.S. Rep. Long and Senator Blunt to work with Senator McCaskill to craft legislation that will allow for a path to citizenship for those who qualify for DACA status.


Senator Roy Blunt
Springfield
Phone: (417) 877-7814

Senator Claire McCaskill
Springfield
Phone: (417) 868-8745

Congressman Billy Long

DACA refers to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which protected hundreds of thousands of young people brought into the country illegally by their parents – a program Trump has vowed to end after March 1 unless Congress approves new border enforcement issues.

    These people had 20 years to apply for citizenship. They deserve to be deported.
    When people immigrate to this country they should be required to apply. If they don't, let tgem go back to where they came from.
    American citizens should be outraged that these immigrants are being given all the benefits without contributing to tgem.
    They receive government aid, free education and all types of government programs that we the American taxpayers pay for.
    What about the rights of true American citizens?
    I am tired of people getting a free-ride paid for by me and my family.

    Wake Up People-You best start worrying about your future and that of your children and grand-children.
