Obama Pardon DACA Immigrants

Last edited Tue Jan 17, 2017, 10:00 PM - Edit history (1)

This step is necessary. Trump is unpredictable and this step is needed to safe guard these peoples basic human rights.

They have voluntarily given information of their status to the government. Obama's pardon is now needed.

However their status today is their status. So what good will an Obama pardon do?
