Statement by Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., president of the University of 91³Ô¹Ï

A decision to discontinue DACA would be foolish, cruel and un-American. Foolish because it drives away talented people the country needs; cruel because it abandons people who have done nothing wrong and have known life only in the United States; and un-American because we have always welcomed immigrants to our land of opportunity. 

In coming days, I hope to meet with congressional leaders to argue for a permanent fix to this pressing problem. In the meantime, 91³Ô¹Ï will continue to support DACA students financially, maintain their enrollment even if Congress fails to act and provide expert legal assistance should it become necessary.
