As a Sister of St. Francis of Philadelphia, committed to welcoming the stranger and to humane reform of our immigration system, I urge you to allow individuals receiving relief through Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) to qualify for coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). I was very excited and supportive of the administration’s announcement to provide a way for DREAMers to apply for deferred action. Denying them access to the reforms made in the Affordable Care Act, however, does nothing but place another obstacle in front of their American Dream. Thak you.
