Trump has decided to end DACA, with 6-month delay

Suck it Flake, John McCain, Little Marco, Paul Ryan and the rest of you cheap labor loving hypocrites. It looks like Trump is going to finally end Obama’s illegal executive action on DACA. If you slimy, cheap labor Republicans want to keep illegal aliens in this country so badly, write a bill that can get 67 votes in the Senate to ovdrride a Trump veto. You can’t, because your constituents would never re-elect you.

Trump has decided to end DACA, with 6-month delay

President Donald Trump has decided to end the Obama-era program that grants work permits to undocumented immigrants who arrived in the country as children, according to two sources familiar with his thinking. Senior White House aides huddled Sunday afternoon to discuss the rollout of a decision likely to ignite a political firestorm — and fulfill one of the president’s core campaign promises.

Trump has wrestled for months with whether to do away with the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, known as DACA. He has faced strong warnings from members of his own party not to scrap the program and struggled with his own misgivings about targeting minors for deportation.

Conversations with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who argued that Congress — rather than the executive branch — is responsible for writing immigration law, helped persuade the president to terminate the program, the two sources said, though White House aides caution that — as with everything in the Trump White House — nothing is set in stone until an official announcement has been made.

In a nod to reservations held by many lawmakers, the White House plans to delay the enforcement of the president’s decision for six months, giving Congress a window to act, according to one White House official. But a senior White House aide said that chief of staff John Kelly, who has been running the West Wing policy process on the issue, “thinks Congress should’ve gotten its act together a lot longer ago.”
