Presidential hopeful Kamala Harris and 20 other Democrat senators have drafted a bill urging DACA illegal immigrants to be hired by D.C. lawmakers.
“The giant sign outside my office says ‘DREAMers Welcome Here’ because we know and value the contributions that these young people have made to their communities,” Harris said in a statement Wednesday. “But right now, those same young people are banned from giving back to their country by working for Congress. That has to change … Our nation’s DREAMers are some of our best and brightest, and it’s time they had the opportunity to get a job or paid internship on Capitol Hill,” she continued.
