Coffman Proposes Alternative To DACA Issue

AURORA, Colo. (CBS4)- Rep. Mike Coffman has proposed an alternative to DACA that he believes will allow more time to find a solution without resulting in mass deportations.

Coffman, a Republican representing Colorado's 6th Congressional District, has proposed the "Bridge Act," a three year proposal.

The deadline Trump imposed for a new plan from Congress was Monday, but there still isn't a plan.
