Last night, Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC) and James Lankford (R-OK) appeared on Fox News Tonight with Dana Perino to talk about the SUCCEED Act, a commonsense and merit-based solution for undocumented children to earn legal status if they work hard, follow the law, and pay their taxes.

TILLIS: “Those eligible can’t petition for their parents who actually entered the nation illegally…We really tried to make sure that there is no line cutting, that this is about the children that came across the border through their parents’ actions. That is a key component of addressing the chain migration concerns the many on our side of the aisle have.”
TILLIS: “There’s a huge number of differences between the DREAM Act and the SUCCEED Act. One of the key parts of this bill is to make sure that we develop a social contract with these kids to make sure that they do succeed, and that we focus on the children. There is also another very important part about this bill. Both Senator Lankford and I believe that this has to be paired with border security and other measures to make sure that we prevent this from being a problem that we have to solve 10 to 12 years from now.”
