Jeff Flake wants to find a fix for DACA and border security

Published



Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., on Thursday will propose immigration legislation that seeks to strike a balance between progressive and conservatives’ demands on border security and the future of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

The Border Security and Deferred Action Recipient Relief Act would provide $1.6 billion for border security measures, give DACA recipients and other youths a path to permanent residency, and enhance interior enforcement protocols that target gang members, his office confirmed to the Washington Examiner. The bill is comparable to the Dream Act and Succeed Act.
