Bishops, advocates call immigration ruling a 'wake-up call' for Congress

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : Now, on the heels of a federal judge ruling the program is unlawful - preventing any prospective recipients from the protection - Alulema is disappointed for the tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants with pending applications who are now stuck in limbo.
58% : a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient in 2012
53% : "This is a time when many of my peers are achieving life milestones and, as someone with DACA and still in a limbo, I'm very afraid of making any drastic decisions, because I don't know what's going to happen to my status two years from now."
47% : The Obama-era program protects undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children - known as "Dreamers" - from deportation, and it provides them work eligibility for renewable two year periods.
43% : Texas federal judge Andrew Hanen ruled against DACA Friday afternoon.
43% : "While we are disappointed with this ruling, we know that DACA was never meant to be a permanent solution for Dreamers," Auxiliary Bishop Mario Dorsonville of Washington, the chair of the U.S. Bishops Conference committee on migration, said in a statement.
