Question

Member One: One member of Congress sponsored the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act. It is a bill proposed in the U.S. Congress that would provide a pathway to citizenship for certain undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children. The act would offer conditional permanent residency to eligible individuals, with the possibility of eventually obtaining lawful permanent resident status and then citizenship. This member also opposes strict immigration enforcement and said on FWD.us Facebook post, she supports DACA. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was created to protect eligible young adults who were brought to the U.S. as children from deportation and to provide them with work authorization for temporary, renewable periods. “This DACA anniversary, I stand with Dreamers and their pathway to citizenship.”

Member Two: One member of Congress defended immigration authorities' efforts to deport a 19-year-old college student from her Georgia district. They said, "The law is the law, and we don't get to pick and choose who gets to break the law and who gets to follow the law,". They also said, on the House floor in response to the murder of Lakin Riley, a Georgia nursing student who was killed by an undocumented individual who had previously been arrested and paroled into the U.S. “I certainly hope we do open as many prisons as possible to round up as many illegal aliens that have invaded our country.” This member believes in strictly enforcing immigration law, opposes DACA, supports deportations. which one is a democrate and which one is a republican
