Statement from NYC Comptroller Scott M. Stringer on DACA

September 5, 2017

“This is about the heart and soul of America — who we are, what we believe, and how we treat young people. As an American, I’m stunned. As a father to two young children, I’m heartbroken. It’s hard to imagine the fear tens of thousands of New Yorkers, and hundreds of thousands of Americans, are feeling today as their White House targets them. But every Dreamer should know that we are prepared to fight. I will not give up — and New York City won’t give up.”
