Bishop DiMarzio: Dreamers ‘Are Contributing to Our Society’
Leader of Brooklyn’s Roman Catholics Makes Statement on DACA Decision
Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio, of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, which is known for its ethnic richness, issued a statement on Wednesday about the Trump administration’s decision to end the DACA protection program. DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, offers protections to children of people who came to the U.S. illegally or who overstayed their visas. DiMarzio argues that sending back those who have known America as their only home would be cruel and would jeopardize their futures.
