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."
This is not a Phoenix moment.
John McCain, getting hard drug, Cancer treatments, yet he and his wife fly off to Italy???
More than likely in a Private Jet...he would never fly commercial First Class.
He is not President, that seems to really both him that DJT won..time to get his affairs in order...
AND TIME FOR AMERICA TO HEAL..WE HAVE A STORM ON OUR TAILS, RIGHT NOW...WAKE UP AMERICA
They protect illegals and the DACA spawn more than Americans. They don't give a sh*t about future generations because most of these POS political whores will have made their money and be dead.
Figures, two Democrats would oppose it.

McStain is so predictable, that if he’s against something, it’s a sure bet it’s a worthwhile endeavor.
Cow manure is worth more than John McCain.

Bitter old man and plastic gal speak.
Lying traitorous coward and a commie......no surprise
McCain needs to join the Democrat Party...
President Trump puts the ball back in their court as it should be. What do these spineless frauds do? Call him names. If the Republic fails it will because of those who continually voted for these @sses.
Has Lindsey Graham and Flake joined in the liberal elite chorus yet?
Does Pelosi or McCain really have any relevance. Does anyone really care what these two demented creatures think
Then by all means let congress codify this into law, congress does write laws I suppose. Maybe, but then again the Republicans are in charge...
who cares what these two boils on the ass of society think.
Exactly. If you will not enforce a law, why have it?
The idiots in Washington are very close to a lock-up themselves.
If there is no need of laws, your presence is not required.
Go ahead and officially switch to Commie Party
Before Satan unlocks your cage
I thought brain cancer was so deadly!!?!!?!
