Arizona Business Community Not Pleased With DACA Announcement

Members of the business community in Arizona have expressed displeasure with the Trump administration’s decision on DACA.

In a statement, Arizona Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Glenn Hamer says, in part, the announcement “was made without wisdom and without compassion,” and that “Congress needs to act with urgency and advance a policy for the DACA-eligible population that is consistent with American values.”

I spoke earlier with Todd Sanders, president and CEO of the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce about this and asked him if he shared the position that this was not the preferred course of action.
