MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Governor Tony Evers is urging action on delays affecting DACA recipients.
The Democratic governor has sent a letter to President Donald Trump and Wisconsin’s congressional delegation, requesting answers on delays in processing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals renewals. Evers says the backlog is creating uncertainty for so-called Dreamers who rely on the program to live and work legally in the U.S.
The governor argues the delays could also affect Wisconsin’s workforce and economy. DACA was created in 2012 for people brought to the country illegally as children.
