Earlier today, President Biden met with six DACA recipients to discuss immigration policies and the need for a path to citizenship. After years of back-and-forth, permanent legal status for DACA recipients is long overdue.
Here are some of the internet’s best responses to the meeting:

"I hope today's meeting is a clear signal to Congress that they need to prioritize this issue. No more playing games. It has been over 3 decades since we've passed any meaningful legislation. Pres Biden is prioritizing this. We need Congress to act.” — @mariapraeli #WeAreHome pic.twitter.com/ByT7WADgNX

Astou Thiane was born in Senegal, and came to this country at 7 years old. She’s a DREAMer, an advocate, and a leader — and I’m proud to call her my constituent.
