When Congress returns to Washington tomorrow after its more-than-month long vacation, it will be greeted by President Donald Trump’s long-awaited announcement on the fate of the controversial DACA (Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals) program for illegal immigrants.
President Barack Obama created DACA through executive order on June 15, 2012, to provide young immigrants who entered the country illegally with their parents with a de facto amnesty program.
Through DACA, approximately 850,000 individuals received special permits that allow them to remain in the United States, to pursue their education and/or work.
At the time, many Republicans complained the action was unconstitutional and that only Congress could provide such a change to immigration law.
While campaigning for president in 2016, Donald Trump promised to end the DACA program and deport those who are in the United States illegally. Tomorrow’s anticipated announcement is expected to end the program, but provide for a six-month implementation delay to allow Congress to consider a legislative remedy to the problem.
On the next page, find out which Republicans are balking at the end of the program and which are likely to support legislation to allow it to continue.

These 18 Congresspersons need to know we are watching and will oppose them when they come up for re-election.
Trump just did what needed to be done by putting the onus wear it belongs.
DACA can be saved, but it must be by an act of congress and not merely an executive action. Trump has actually done immigrants a great service by making it an issue, that could make or break congressional leadership. There is a 6 month window in which to act, now let’s see if the congressional supporters of the measure, will be inclined to put up or shut up and either provide a legitimate law for a path to citizenship or leave the so called dreamers without a dream to follow. This was a brilliant call on the part of President Trump and a smart person would engage their representative instead of whining and creating a reason for them to say no.
LETS GET THE OLD REPUBLICANS OUT AND PUT SOME NEW ONE IN OFFICE BECAUSE THE OLD ONE WILL NOT HELP OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP AND AMERICA!!!!
Cut the DACA
Why can’t these jerks do their jobs? So tired of these lifers getting re-elected for NOTHING!
What will it take to fix this.

unless we as republicans elect different senators and congressmen than what we currently have nothing is going to get done and the republican party is what you might call dead, never saw so much hatred and jealously between a party democrats will win big time if we don’t come up with some new faces.
Then 18 lawless reps will be looking for jobs…..
