On Friday, the White House announced that Trump would make his decision whether to end the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), or "Dreamer, program on Tuesday. Well, we won't have to wait to long, because according to Politico, Trump has made the decision to end the DAVA program with a six-month delay.
Trump, who has faced strong warnings from both Democrats and Republicans not to scrap the program and struggled with his own misgivings about targeting minors for deportation, is said to have made up his mind and according to Politico, "senior White House aides huddled Sunday afternoon to discuss the rollout of a decision likely to ignite a political firestorm — and fulfill one of the president’s core campaign promises."
Trump will announce his decision on Tuesday, with Politico noting that the White House informed House Speaker Paul Ryan of the president’s decision on Sunday morning. Ryan had said during a radio interview on Friday that he didn’t think the president should terminate DACA, and that Congress should act on the issue. However, Trump's conversations with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who argued that Congress rather than the executive branch is responsible for writing immigration law, helped persuade the president to terminate the program, although Politico hedges that "the White House aides caution that — as with everything in the Trump White House — nothing is set in stone until an official announcement has been made."
In what appears to be another victory for the recently exiled "nationalist" wing of the Trump inner circle, the president’s expected announcement is likely to shore up his base, which rallied behind his broader campaign message about the importance of enforcing the country’s immigration laws and securing the border. At the same time, the president’s decision is likely to be one of the most contentious of his early administration, opposed by leaders of both parties and by the political establishment more broadly. It also indicates that despite his departure, Steve Bannon still continues to have major influence on the Trump White House.

Thank you Pres Trump for getting rid of DACA. You were smart enough to see through this con game by the illegals. That will save the US tax payer money and also give more money to help the elderly, homeless Vets and abused children.
ReplyDeleteI can only hope this is the end of Daca. They took legal citizens taxpayers money to pay for food, healthcare, shelter, education. All of it done illegally from the time their parents entered the US. They were issued drivers license and will be able to vote. If you consider all this and still think they should stay then you REALLY need a dose of reality.
ReplyDeletePerfect way to do this! Give the legislative branch the opportunity to do what is right for the country and their individual constituents(who collectively voted for Trump to end DACA) so we can see who is for the country and who is out for prospective latino votes in the next election.
ReplyDeleteNext an executive order that nullifies any federal ballot district that doesn't have a voter ID law - before you give any racist feedback - a common ID requirement is already in effect to board a plane, buy booze, get food stamps, and many other things!
Every legislator that is whining now has a chance to show his own constituents how well they support our president. Then the voters can decide if they need new representation!
It's what the people wanted.
ReplyDeleteDACA was an illegal use of presidential power by Obama. Trump has simply put the power for immigration reform back where it constitutionally belongs...in Congress. None of those corrupt bastards want anything to do with immigration reform. No wonder they are upset.
