The program protects from deportation 750,000 people who were brought to the United States illegally as children, sometimes called the "dreamers," and gives them the temporary right to work legally in the United States.
Maybe i should've said, temporarily absolves him of that crime. But, i still say, they shouldn't deport him as long as this DACA rule exists. Or until Trump cancels this.
He is being deported because he is a gang member.
According to Wikipedia the DACA is a policy not a law.
As such it can be changed or rescinded at any time.
Such shifts in policies normally occur when there has been a significant change in the political power structure, i.e. a change in political parties ruling Washington D.C.
In short, people covered by the DACA were NEVER given permanent status. It was established by Obama in June 2012 and is renewable, as a policy, every two years. let’s count the renewal cycles - 2012, 2014, and 2016. Somehow I don’t think it will be renewed again.
Does anyone have a site citing the 2016 renewal; or, is it case of it takes too much effort to formally renew it? IMHO the DACA is a variation of an Executive Order; and, since it is not a law just as permanent.
