House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi denounced President Trump's plan to end the immigration program known as DACA, calling it "shameful...despicable, cruel and heartless."
Pelosi, D-Calif., joined other Democrats and some Republicans in opposing the move to end the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which is facing a court challenge.
The program allows young people who arrived illegally as children to obtain work permits and some federal benefits. Pelosi called for "an immediate response from Congress," to ensure those in the program are not deported, although there is no indication the Trump Administration will move to deport anybody.
"President Trump's decision to end DACA is a deeply shameful act of political cowardice and a despicable assault on innocent young people in communities across America," Pelosi said in the statement. "Deporting DREAMers means destroying the lives of hundreds of thousands of patriotic young people, costing the economy billions and betraying the fundamental values of the American Dream." Among the Republicans opposed to the Trump administration move on DACA is Sen. John McCain of Arizona.
McCain issued a statement Tuesday calling the decision "the wrong approach" to immigration policy, even though he opposed Obama's move at the time to create DACA. "The 800,000 innocent young people granted deferred action under DACA over the last several years are pursuing degrees, starting careers, and contributing to our communities in important ways," McCain said. "While I disagreed with President Obama's unilateral action on this issue, I believe that rescinding DACA at this time is an unacceptable reversal of the promises and opportunities that have been conferred to these individuals."
People don’t even consider whether it was legal or not. Or the fact 9 states are suing to have it overturned in the courts are very likely to prevail.
When the law is reduced to outcomes, the rule of law is dead.
I fear it's not going to change because the will of our Congressional elected officials are supporting open borders for political advantages only.
Diversity and Multiculturalism is the game here and on the world stage.......you're either on one side or the other. If you oppose you are labeled the current trend of hate of the moment.
Todays Population has been indoctrinated and brainwashed to accept an Open Borders World and Governance by an entity yet to fully form...... that drumbeat plays loudly now....because most of those sounding it are in our streets NOT working and fro the Universities that have grown this stench!
Except mine, it seems.
The is not one drop of evidence that any of these Dreamers are PATRIOTIC....about the USA.
There is precious little evidence that they are contributing to their communities.
How many are receiving benefits paid for by taxpayers?
How many of these ‘dreamers’ are holding jobs that out of work AMERICANS could be doing?
How many of these ‘dreamers’ are holding seats in colleges that AMERICAN citizens could be using?
They don’t belong here-—send them back home & to the back of the line to apply for citizenship in the USA. NOW.
Might have to lose some of their staff?
They are attached at the cranium!
The honorable thing for capt. Queeg to do is switch parties before he checks out.

McCain is acting as if he will run again when his term is up.
No! Really?!!! LOL
Trump gave you six months
>>McCain....you rotten SOB.
I’ve heard people say they will be standing in line to p*ss on that SOB’s grave. And rightfully so!
That’s what Republicans have been doing for decades. That’s how Romney handled Obama’s executive amnesties, if you remember.
>>McCain, and Pelosi.......GOSH!
If I was being forced at the point of a gun to vote for either one of them, I would tell the gunner to pull the freaking trigger.
>>Hopefully McCain will be gone soon.
My prayer every night is that he will be GONE by the time I awaken in the morning.
