| America: We believe in the rule of law. However, we also are a country of compassion and of opportunity for all, and Americans do not punish children for the actions of their parents. With President Trump’s announcement, it’s time for Congress to come together and bring closure to this issue for the children and young adults living in limbo, many of whom reside in Arizona. They should be held harmless from the decisions of their parents. This shouldn’t be a matter of executive action; it should be a matter of law." — Gov. Doug Ducey, in a statement to The Arizona Republic |
| "The DACA program was never meant to be a permanent solution. Immigration reform instituted by Executive Order creates legal uncertainty for all. Regardless of where you stand on this issue, today's announcement is a clear signal to Congress that it must act now to provide clarity and certainty on these critical immigration issues and I am hopeful that it will." — Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich |
