As you may know, Attorney General Jeff Sessions just confirmed that Donald Trump is ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (you may know it as DACA) in six months unless Congress acts.
VoteVets is committed to pressuring Congress to extend DACA and protect its recipients. We hope that you'll join us.
Why? Because from the Revolutionary War to Iraq and Afghanistan and all war are peacetime eras in between, immigrants have served our nation with honor and distinction in our military.
Ending DACA isn't just contrary to the American values many of us signed up to preserve and protect, it will hurt military readiness at a time our nation cannot afford it. So, we want to ask you to join us:
Tell Congress: the veterans, military family members and civilian supporters of VoteVets urge you to pass legislation that will protect Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients before the program expires.
In 2009, the Department of Defense listed the DREAM Act as a possible recruitment tool to help find "smart ways to sustain quality assurance" when recruiting an all-volunteer force. And last year, hundreds of DACA recipients enlisted in the Army.
Preserving this program is common sense. Thank you for making your voice heard.
