Sununu Calls On Congress To Find 'Real Solution' For DACA Recipients

Allegra Boverman for NHPR

Governor Chris Sununu is weighing in on the Trump Administration’s decision to repeal DACA, or the so-called “dreamers” program.

He says his hope is that undocumented children living here can continue to contribute to society.

“I think the president sent a clear initiative, told Congress to get to work, find a solution here. Something that I’ve always said is, children shouldn’t be accountable for actions of their parents. They’re here, and I think Congress has to get to work and find a real solution.”

The Obama-era initiative shielded as many as 800,000 undocumented children, including an estimated 400 in New Hampshire.
