Menendez says Republican votes are needed to pass legislation

A recent federal appeal’s court decision ruled the DACA program a violation of U.S. immigration law. The program helps undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, often called "dreamers," to get work permits and protection against deportation. This latest decision maintains protections for recipients who are already enrolled in the program but bars new applicants.
