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.
I wonder if the GOP is not getting through their heads why Pres Trump got elected….
All 18 are worthless pieces of$#%&!@* They could all disappear and it would be no loss to our great country.
They are not opposing President Trump they are opposing the America people….We the People…
If you can get your hound dog to run against Lindsey, the dog will win…
18 I d iots
18 soon to be voted out GOP congressmen.
Get their names. Most are obvious but wouldn’t want to miss anyone come election time. At the rate things are going with the Dems and the GOP, we may need a new party.
Oppose…still stupid huh…got 6 months to come up with a program that will work for all…or us it really possible that all of you lawmakers in congress can’t work together or come up with a workable solutions to America’s problems..
Those 18 “GOP” Congress “men”, will be opposed at the voting booth and can stand in a grand GOP circle together, looking for new employment!
Then Trump needs to be an executive order.
