Luján Grisham Blames Trump for Sabotaging DACA Fix

Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Michelle Luján Grisham (D-NM) and the rest of the CHC’s leadership team --Congressmen Joaquín Castro (D-TX), Caucus First Vice Chair; Rubén Gallego (D-AZ), Caucus Second Vice Chair; Pete Aguilar (D-CA), Caucus Whip; and Adriano Espaillat (D-NY), Caucus Freshman Representative -- sent a scathing letter to Donald Trump holding him responsible for the failure to pass a legislative fix for “Dreamers.” “You have called on Congress to act to address this issue. However, you have thwarted every bipartisan, narrow agreement that seeks to provide relief to Dreamers and instead have attempted to force a deeply unpopular, anti-immigrant agenda through Congress,” the members wrote. “We cannot expect Congress to make any headway on protecting Dreamers until the White House and Republicans, who control every branch of government, choose to work with Democrats on a bipartisan DACA fix.” The letter also lists the numerous bipartisan efforts that Trump has rejected, and calls for a narrow, targeted solution. See the letter here.
