Thread: Rep. Collins seeks solution to DACA

SPECIAL TO THE LCN

Congressman Chris Collins, R-Clarence, called for Congress to immediately enact a permanent solution to address the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program imposed by former President Obama and now rescinded by President Trump.

Collins is co-sponsoring H.R. 1468, the Recognizing America’s Children (RAC) Act, introduced by Congressman Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.).

The RAC Act provides five year conditional legal status to undocumented immigrants brought into the United States as minors if they obtain a higher education, maintain continual employment or serve in the United States military. These individuals are eligible for permanent legal status if they continue to demonstrate good moral character, including maintaining a clean criminal record and staying off government assistance for five years.

“Nearly 800,000 minors were illegally brought into this country by their parents. President Obama superseded the authority of Congress by issuing an executive order that was a temporary patch and provided no certainty to these children,” Collins said in a news release. “President Trump properly rescinded the Obama DACA program which protected illegal immigrants without Congressional approval.”

Collins said many of the immigration problems the nation is facing are a direct result of the porous borders under the Obama Administration when millions of immigrants illegally entered the United States, bringing their minor children with them.

Now, Collins said, Trump has referred the matter to Congress for legislative action and to send a bill to his desk to be signed into law that gives these young people, so-called Dreamers, certainty with permanent legal work status.

At the same time, Congress needs to make sure the country’s borders are secure, Collins said.

“Just like President Trump and other members of Congress, I recognize that these young men and women were brought to our county illegally, with no fault of their own,” said Collins. “I look forward to working with my colleagues in Congress to create long-term certainty for these individuals.”

Collins also said it was time for comprehensive immigration reform to address areas such as H-2A and H-2B visas granted to temporary farm workers. In addition, he said it was time to address the estimated 12 million illegal individuals in the country.

“I’m a strong supporter of comprehensive immigration reform that keeps our borders secure and allows farmers to access a willing and available labor force. We need to use this opportunity to address the larger immigration issues facing our nation but cannot award citizenship to adults that enter our country illegally. Labor from undocumented workers is critical to Western New York’s agriculture community and we need to give these individuals the ability to gain legal work status.”

THE "PERMANENT" SOLUTION IS CUT OFF ALL FREEBIES, CUT OFF ANCHOR BABIES, DEPORT THEM ALL AND TURN THEM RIGHT BACK AROUND AT THE BORDER!

WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF THE UNRELENTING INVASION OF OUR COUNTRY

THEY ARE NOT US CITIZENS...NO BENEFITS, NO COURT, NO JUDGE, NO LAWYER...DEPORT

Oh Chris, your dairy farmer thugs are wrong on this, do not support them on this issue. Last year before Trump was President, a half gallon of milk at Walmart cost $1.42 to $1.57. Since Trump came into office, the price has dropped to 88 cents. Trump fixed the problem with Canada trade on milk and dairy. He's taken care of your industry in ways that benefited consumers.

There's too much milk, that's why the price is so low and the expiration dates so short. This is what happens when you use illegal slave labor to produce your products. Now tell your farmers, "I love you, I love your milk, but you're making too much of it, so cut back production, hire American Workers, and watch all your issues blow away. Trump fixed the trade problem for you and now it's your turn to fix your excess production and illegal labor problems."

In other words, just tell them the Truth, Chris. I like you, but this stupidity on the RAC Act won't fly, because it's straight up .... wrong, and you know it.

The current global glut of milk is responsible for the lower prices of milk, not Trump.

No one said otherwise.

No negative comments from you against Collins and his RAC Act amnesty for illegal aliens?!!!!

Wow.

We need to throw Chris Collins out of office like we did Eric Cantor and Luther Strange!
