Title: Mark Zuckerberg Wants You To Call Your Congressperson In Support Of DACA
Post by: edpc on January 18, 2018, 12:05:16 am
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants you to call your congressperson to act on DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). Since 2012, 800,000 undocumented immigrants have received DACA status.

"Every day that Congress doesn't act more DACA recipients are losing their status," Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post this morning.

If President Donald Trump has his way, DACA will end. Yesterday, the Department of Justice said it would ask the Supreme Court to review a federal judge's ruling that ordered the government to keep DACA protections and restart the program.

"This is a basic question of whether our government works," Zuckerberg wrote. :Can Congress come together and find a path forward, or will we default to forcing almost one million people out of their jobs and country?"

The mods won’t allow expression of what most of us would like Zuckerberg to do.

No, Mark. 

And by the way, Facebook sucks.

I'm really hating FB. It's been good for reconnecting with high school and college friends, and sharing photos with family. Otherwise, not so much. Zuckerberg is an ass.
