Trump administration ends DACA, with 6-month delay
Fox News ^ | Sept 5, 2017

Posted on 09/05/2017 11:14:49 AM PDT by Jim Robinson

The Trump administration on Tuesday announced the “orderly wind down” of the Obama-era program that gave a deportation reprieve to illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children – putting pressure on Congress to come up with a replacement.

“I do not favor punishing children, most of whom are now adults, for the actions of their parents. But we must also recognize that we are a nation of opportunity because we are a nation of laws,” President Trump said, in a lengthy written statement explaining the decision.

The Department of Homeland Security formally rescinded the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA, with a six-month delay for current recipients. According to Acting Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke, the interval is meant to give Congress “time to deliver on appropriate legislative solutions.”

“However, I want to be clear that no new initial requests or associated applications filed after today will be acted on,” Duke said in a written statement.

English is the language of business and success worldwide. They can learn their home languages and any challenges they have are between them and their parents. NOT OUR PROBLEM.

I bet every one of them can get a job in their home countries BECAUSE they speak American English, not despite that.

This should be a lay up for the GOP.

DACA is 100% unconstitutional. Article I, Section 8. Plain language that Congress owns the naturalization process.

Here's one poll question we will NEVER see:

'Do you believe the same media that told us Hillary was going to handily beat Trump manipulates polls to advance their own leftist agenda?'

Dear President Trump, I would've preferred you end DACA IMMEDIATELY, but I'll take a gradual phase-out, and I DO believe it is made clear that as of TODAY "no new applications will be acted upon"..

THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!

What other countries provide public assistance money to people there illegally?

Mexico?
Costa Rica?
Cuba?
Russia?
Saudi Arabia?
Brazil?
Uganda?
the ChiComs?
Singapore?
Thailand?

No. Just the US and certain European countries.

DACA is unconstitutional and should end NOW with all dreamers and other illegals deported.

It isn’t DACA. There is zero intent to ever deal with them. So it isn’t “deferred”. It is cancelled action on childhood arrivals.

The proper term is CACA. Cancelled action on childhood arrivals.

Also, all this hysteria that it MUST be addressed immediately. I remember a LOT of Americans needing Obamacare dealt with immediately.

Actually we need to put this fire to Congress’ feet on EVERYTHING.

All of that unconstitutional rulemaking going on in the Executive Branch is just Congress trying to duck responsibility.

I maintain GOPe gave Obama the go-ahead on DACA after Dave Brat ruined the Gang of 8 bill. They couldn’t get something through on their own so they worked with Obama.

So what do they do now?

Thanks for this well thought out reply!:

In spite of the spin from the right (Breitbart) and the left, (CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, etc) the conservatives in my household are very happy over this. President Trump is ending the unconstitutional executive order by Barack Obama and is returning the constitutional authority back to Congress in the creation of our immigration laws.

He is implementing a common sense approach regarding those, who through no fault of their own, were brought here or who were born here as children to go through the system. You don't allow people to live in a country for a lifetime and then suddenly decide to enforce the immigration laws.

If you're going to blame somebody, blame the past two administrations who REFUSED to enforce our immigration laws in the first place. This also forces the Congress to do their constitutionally mandated job that they were elected to do and to show their true colors on where they stand on this issue.

The left will try and spin this as heartless, but what is heartless is leaving these people in limbo as to whether or not DACA will be renewed and ignoring the rule of law.

Takes it right to the next election cycle. This was the last thing the Republicans could run on to beat the Democrats. Everything else they gave up. The only thing that makes sense is the Republicans to the left of Ted Cruz are really Undocumented Democrats.

Defund/defang/vote out the undocumented Democrat traitors in Congress!

Trump is flushing out all the Rino’s and Undocumented Democratic plants in Congress!

President Trump and we will get rid of Undocumented Democrats posing as Republicans in congress!
