NEW YORK, CMC – Jamaican-born legislator, Nick Perry, is calling for more support for illegal Caribbean youths in the United States.
Perry, a New York State Assemblyman, who represents the predominantly Caribbean 58th Assembly District in Brooklyn, New York, said that he is standing firmly behind the New York State Assembly’s “million dollar commitment” to fund the creation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Tuition Fund.
This Fund will secure additional educational and employment opportunities to undocumented Caribbean and other youth through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that was created by US President Barack Obama last year.
