Path to citizenship for DREAMers, with conditions
Q: Support path to citizenship for "DACA" recipients or "Dreamers," who grew up in the US after being brought here as children?Kevin Cramer (R): No. DACA was "unlawfully put together." Recipients must return to home country before applying
for citizenship.
Heidi Heitkamp (D): Yes, with conditions. Voted for several bills coupling with border security increase, & in one case with restrictions on legal immigration.

Extend DACA for 3 years; $7.6B for 3-year border security
U.S. Sens. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) today introduced bipartisan legislation that would extend Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program protections for three years and provide $7.6 billion to fully fund the first
three years of the administration's border security proposal. With the program deadline fast approaching, this bill will provide a temporary solution for the thousands of DACA recipients facing potential deportation."To actually pass legislation that
strengthens our borders and fixes our broken immigration system, we have to put partisan differences aside and work together," said Heitkamp. "North Dakota and Arizona lay on different borders, but Senator Flake and I share the desire to strengthen
border security while also protecting those who were brought to this country through no fault of their own. While this is not the permanent fix, this would allow Congress to continue to work toward a long-term solution for DREAMers."
