As vice president of my College Republican Club and member of the Utah GOP, I am frustrated with my party’s inability to act on immigration reform.
I have watched a wave of anxiety spread over my campus, now that Dreamers – those young immigrants who came here as undocumented children – may be subject to mass deportation. And yet, as President Trump has made clear, Congress has the ability to solve this problem. So why don’t they?
I’m not alone in my frustration. Across Republican and conservative ranks, there is overwhelming support to give Dreamers a pathway to citizenship in exchange for an increase in border security.
