Dear editor at The Hill<\/a><\/p>\n

Mollie Hooper gets it wrong — twice — in a February 28 piece<\/a> on Rep. Steve King in which she tells readers that the DACA solution offered by Rep. Bob Goodlatte includes a path to U.S. citizenship.<\/p>\n

\u201cKing also said he opposed a GOP immigration bill sponsored by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) that would provide a pathway to citizenship for people covered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. DACA allowed immigrants who came to the United States illegally as children to work and go to school without fear of deportation\u201d writes Hooper.<\/p>\n

The Goodlatte bill<\/a> codifies Obama\u2019s DACA decree and provides a three-year renewable legal status with work and travel authorization. It does not grant green cards and thus no specific path to citizenship.<\/p>\n

And let\u2019s not overlook the fact that likely half of the now illegal victims of American borders<\/a> did not cross those boundaries illegally. The DACA amnesty has also been extended to individuals who came to the U.S. lawfully and then illegally overstayed their visas.<\/p>\n

I would have written sooner, but I assumed an astute editor would note the important error. This loyal reader asks for a correction.<\/p>\n
