The legislation proposed by House Speaker Paul Ryan would wipe out longstanding, bipartisan protections for children and other extremely vulnerable people. It’s not a “compromise” at all.
Under this bill, the United States would turn away most children seeking shelter from violence. The few children admitted into this country would be jailed instead of being released to live with family members or other sponsors. 
For every DACA holder offered legal status, this bill would turn away one or more people who are currently qualified to legally enter the United States.
The only appropriate step for Congress to take is to immediately stop the administration from forcibly separating children from their families and to vote on a clean DACA bill. Make the call. callyourrep.co
