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.
They are not republicans. They are worthless weak corrupt fools who could not earn an honest living elsewhere.
I don’t get it. The are the lawmakers, not the executive wing. The President wants them to make a law to protect these kids, or not.
Make law or shut up congress.
Then you 18$#%&!@*clowns take care of them yourselves.
Time to vote them out.
Old news. Trump cannot legally renew DACA. And Obama broke the law with this temporary 2 year exec order that actually went on for 5vyears illegally. Since this article Trump has sent it to congress to address giving them 6 months in hopes a compassionate solution can be worked out where DACA people with clean criminal records can have some legal way to stay.
You vote against your President And American Citizens – we will get You Voted Out!!!
Say goodbye to tpur cushy jobs
If this truly was an executive order then it can be rescinded by an executive order. Congress has no authority to interfere at all.
They all need fired, month vacation? What the$#%&!@*do we pay them for?
Mr. President wait for the 2018 elections, most of these corrupt idiots will be voted out. Then we can get down to business
