Political Quotes

I believe the status of the young people who come here through no fault of their own is an important matter to be considered and should be solved on a long-term basis so they know what their future will be in this country. I think the action that the president took today makes it more difficult to reach that long-term solution because an executive order is of course a short-term matter. It can be reversed by subsequent presidents.
