Did I understand correctly that Chicago’s Mayor Rahm Emanuel is pressing for state legislation to give young people protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program state financial aid and scholarships?
Meanwhile, can it be true that Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has filed a lawsuit alleging the dissolution of the DACA executive order violates DACA beneficiaries’ rights?
And, oh yes, an Illinois “Dreamers Bill of Rights” and legal defense fund is being co-sponsored by Chicago City Clerk Anna Valencia and 16 aldermen.
Shouldn’t these public employees let the U.S. Congress determine the status of DACA before they spend their time and our money on yet more entitlement programs?
