GOP donor threatens to cut off support for Republicans who don't back DACAThe Hill, May 24, 2018, Josh Delk
A major GOP donor says he may stop giving money to Republican lawmakers if they refuse to pass a bill providing protections for recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
David MacNeil, who gave President Trump's inaugural committee more than $1 million, says he'll cut off funding to any Republican not in favor of a solution for keeping the so-called "Dreamers" in the U.S.
“I’m saying this as a political donor who’s donated seven figures in the last couple of years: I will not donate any more money to anyone who doesn’t support DACA, period,†MacNeil told Politico. “I’m putting my money where my mouth is.â€
A second pro-immigrant businessman, John Rowe, also told the newspaper this week that he would stop donating to lawmakers who don't back a Democratic-led effort in the House to mandate a vote on immigration bills.
