When Congress returns to Washington tomorrow after its more-than-month long vacation, it will be greeted by President Donald Trump’s long-awaited announcement on the fate of the controversial DACA (Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals) program for illegal immigrants.
President Barack Obama created DACA through executive order on June 15, 2012, to provide young immigrants who entered the country illegally with their parents with a de facto amnesty program.
Through DACA, approximately 850,000 individuals received special permits that allow them to remain in the United States, to pursue their education and/or work.
At the time, many Republicans complained the action was unconstitutional and that only Congress could provide such a change to immigration law.
While campaigning for president in 2016, Donald Trump promised to end the DACA program and deport those who are in the United States illegally. Tomorrow’s anticipated announcement is expected to end the program, but provide for a six-month implementation delay to allow Congress to consider a legislative remedy to the problem.
On the next page, find out which Republicans are balking at the end of the program and which are likely to support legislation to allow it to continue.
18 GOP Congressmen ready to be FIRED by the American public! –Diane Stanley
These guys should just go ahead and admit they are democrats and quite lying to get elected.
Time to vote the rinos out of office
Naturally traitors
Be so glad when re-election comes so we can vote these jerks out!!
If they want to Oppose the President, then the House need to vote on it so he can sign off on it and make it Legal.
However I don’t think Trump will sign off without coming to some compromise with the Law Makers!
These 18 GOP men (not Congressmen b/c they wouldn’t do this) are ruining the GOP party and they will be remembered and not fondly.
The SWAMP is swelling
Sell their souls for votes I guess
McCain and Lindsey Graham will still be there!
