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.
No one runs against him..he is a shoe in
DACA is executive order only. Trump can kill it by rescinding the order. If Congress doesn’t like it, pass a law but be ready to be vetoed by Trump.
Since DACA was an Obama fucked up executive order, all of those dumb asses have absolutely no say…..grandpa
It seems to me if Obama is a legally put darker in there should be no question props your name have to do anything it should be taken and daughter why were you that’s the law is Annette Republicans you’re a bunch of deadheads give it up get out and let somebody that’s got Sam sent do your job
What, are they too lazy to fix the problem. Congress was outraged when Obama used an Exec. Order to pass a Law, totally ignoring the fact the only Congress held the power to pass laws. Now, Pres Trump has given them the opportunity to make things right, and they are still whining. Why is that? The President has given them 6 months to replace and unconstitutional Law and they still want to fight. What in the hell is wrong with our Congress????
Fire these 18 idiots in congress along with the obstructionist democrat senators in 2018!!!
Our government protecting illegals! This shows you they don’t follow the law! SMH!
Agree! …….Time to return this Country back to its foundation and abide by the U.S. Constitution, President Donald J. Trump. Illegal is Illegal, as stated in our Constitution. We need to BOLDLY REDRAW THAT LINE and return to ALL our Foundation of Laws. ……..Many that are here illegally have had ample time to go through the legal process and become legal citizens, but have chosen not to. Any legal action or deportation will now be all on their own shoulders, and their own families shoulders if they have not followed the law. As, Randy, above stated; an executive order can be taken down with another executive order. ……..There are many great comments under this Truth and Action post, Sir. I hope you will find a moment to review all. ……..Continue remembering ALL the support behind you. ……..God bless you, President Donald J. Trump, for ALL you are doing for our Country and “We the People.” ……..GO, TRUMP! #MAGA
WHO CARES
we the people of America voted him in office with the help of God and we will again
