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The Department of Homeland Security formally rescinded the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA, with a six-month delay for current recipients.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

We’re in agreement. Trump kept a promise today.
What else could Trump have meant by giving Congress time to act?
On what?
Deportations?
“Now they will either need to let DACA die (as it should) or come up with legislation to continue it and answer to their constituents next November.”
The RINOs refuse to repeal Obamacare, refuse to build the wall, refuse tax reform - but will pass this amnesty.
Just watch.
AND they got placed in our colleges ahead of American citizens.
“Home to countries that they never lived in and whose language they may or not speak.”
LOL, I see you’ve never been to Mexifornia.
It’s more likely they never spoke one word of English at home.
ROFLOL!!!
Post that often!!
The original so called DREAM Act was by Orrin Hatch and Dick Durbin...
DREAM stands for Development, Relief, Education for Alien Minors
the Gang of 8 and their cronies tried several times every year until 2013 to get it passed...
they settled for daca in 2012..
Durbin and Graham were pushing the 2017 version today...
Don’t forget his success in winning the Olympics.
Anyone read this article yet? Cardinal Doyle is against it, yet look closer at this article.....
One illegal is claiming he’s a firefighter in the photo, and in the article one is saying hes a “city hall press staffer”. Both are very good jobs and both jobs were DENIED to a US citizen or someone allowed here legally, and THAT is exactly why DACA should go and all of these ILLEGAL ALIENS should be deported ASAP.
This absolutely infuriates me, the difficulty in finding jobs today is hard enough no to mention housing. We DO NOT need that task made even harder by people who AREN’T EVEN SUPPOSE TO BE HERE!!!!! WTF??
It will die for sure.
No way the GOP passes it, and like you said Trump will just veto it.
I kind of hope they do pass it.
America will then know exactly who to primary and we’ll get some good Trump supporters.
It's ah coming
Agree. Our lazy worthless FERAL Government has had 8 years to fix it but no they sat on their fat asses and done nothing but spend our money.
Now if your or me did not pay our taxes and they found out, they would be all over us in ONE year demanding payment WITH interest. OR off to jail with you.
NOT if you are an illegal invader's loin drippings, then you get special treatment and "special interest" money thrown at you at every turn. You do not get treated like other law breakers. You get handled with kit gloves so that your feelings don't get hurt.
I say eff 'em. Grab them by their illegal invader hair and drag them off of our land.
Don't kid yourself. Most of these invaders never quit speaking their "home" language BECAUSE America NEVER became their home because they never and will never assimilate to America.
They will ONLY try to CHANGE America to look like the shiite hole they came from so why drop the language, speak it every chance you get. Especially when you are in public where you made American stores put up Mescan writing on every aisle and every label of the item that you buy.
Boy, that will get his attention.
I bet he reads all of those emails /sarc
Ryan is laughing at you...he is laughing at all of us.
And just why would he be laughing at me? You need to explain yourself on that one. I have never fell for that clowns tactics or antics. Writing letters to him is probably one of the biggest wastes on God's green Earth.
OK. The best thing for Congress to do is NOTHING. Congress has already passed immigration laws, signed by various Presidents. Under these laws, the DACA recipients are here ILLEGALLY.
The President's job is to ENFORCE THE LAW.
DO YOUR JOB, MR. PRESIDENT!!!
‘You’ in a general sense. The American people are a joke to him.
LOL
