The National Association of Evangelicals released a statement urging Congress to act swiftly to replace the rescinded DACA during the time allotted for the phasing out of the program.

"We pledge our prayers and support to House Speaker Ryan and Senate Leader McConnell as they build consensus on legislation that can pass the Congress and be signed by President Trump," stated NAE President Leith Anderson.

"Americans may have a variety of views on the broader questions of immigration policy, but most agree that those who were brought to this country as children — and who have grown up here — should not be punished for the actions of their parents."
