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The Department of Homeland Security formally rescinded the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA, with a six-month delay for current recipients.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.

I think you are correct.
DACA will die on the vine because the dummies in Congress are too chickenshyte to deal with their Trump-loving, America first constituents! Once they see that they’ll be out of a job if they go anywhere near this, that’ll get them to give up on it.
Si! DACA = DemoCACA!
Good luck with that.
Hopefully,the republicans will remember what happened to democrats who voted for Obama care,then got booted from their jobs in congress...Voters will toss republicans and they know it.
Buuuuut,not in 2018....Too many trump voters that can toss them out..Problem is,they only have 6 months and that’s plenty of time for new recruits to challenge them for 2018.....
DACA is a Trojan horse for Leftism. We know Leftists will use children for political power.
Yes, Undocumented Democrats. Any Republican that would undermine the rule of law, negate our borders and sovereignty, are not Republicans. Amnesty begets more amnesty. Follow the laws, deport illegal aliens. Anyone that proposes, supports, and votes for amnesty is an undocumented Democrat. Anyone that undermines President Trump at every turn is an undocumented Democrat.
If Congress writes it and Trump vetoes it, then congress can still over-ride the veto. I predict they won’t be able to and especially not in an election year.
So, they need to write something Trump will sign.
The 6 months is to give congress enough rope to hang themselves with
The 6 month delay is not really as was reported it would be from TV sources I heard. Accepting new people stops immediately. Some who are already here get a little bit of time to get their act together. I understand the maximum amount of time to get their act and paperwork together can extend out to 6 months.
So, you want it to end now with no other effects, instead of ending in six months and dumping a whole bunch of RINOs out of office during primary season?
Dunno about you, but if we can get rid of a bunch of obstructionist RINOs/GOPe’ers, you know what? I can wait six months.
I think there are that many in Texas alone.
6 months. Plenty of time for federal black robed liberal judges to tell Trump to F off.
That will give them plenty of time to absorb into the woodwork.
Meanwhile I’m getting bluer in the face with rage over “our” community college president AGAIN (as predicted) condescendingly/arrogantly sending another e-mail to us staff/students presuming we all follow her commie-lib line of “supporting our precious DACA students and opposing Trump”.
Another win for America....
