Big Tech Makes an Unsurprising Statement on Immigration and DACA
avatar By Madison McQueen January 14, 2021
On January 13, tech giant, Google, stated it would cover the application fees for approximately 500 young illegal aliens seeking employment under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The company also pledged to donate $250,000 to United We Dream, an organization which assists illegal aliens in obtaining work permits and deferred deportation through DACA.
This comes ahead of a pending court decision in Texas which could put an end to the program altogether. Nine states, led by Texas, asked U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen to end DACA last month, stating that “President Obama overstepped his authority when his administration issued the DACA memorandum in 2012.â€
The federal judge did not immediately issue a ruling. Judge Hanen previously rejected Texas’ 2018 request to halt the program through a preliminary injunction; however, he did indicate that the program may be unconstitutional.
