Business Wire
Today, Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) Chairman and CEO Tom Linebarger
issued the following statement after the Trump Administration
announced its decision to rescind the DACA (Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals) initiative.
“The decision by the Trump Administration to
rescind DACA is discriminatory, harmful and sets our country back.
These young people deserve every opportunity to continue living,
working, and thriving in the United States – for nearly all of them
the U.S. is the only country they have ever known. This is their
home.
Dreamers are our colleagues, our friends and
our neighbors. They strengthen our country through daily
contributions to our companies, our universities and our
communities. We have a moral obligation to help these young people,
protect them from living in fear, and to prevent families from
being torn apart.
Cummins stands in full support of Dreamers
and we ask Congress to take immediate action to pass the Dream Act
or find a permanent legislative solution to support these young
people before anyone is affected by this decision.
We hope that Americans speak out and make it
clear to Congress and the President that we stand with the
Dreamers.”
