BREAKING on CNN: Trump will let DACA authorizations expire

No link yet...


Okay, link to the Reuters story released less than an hour ago (CNN mentioned Reuters):

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-idUSKBN1532T3

Trump is expected to sign an executive order in his first few days to direct the building of a wall on the southern border with Mexico, and actions to limit the entry of asylum seekers from Latin America, among several immigration-related steps his advisers have recommended.

That includes rescinding Obama's order that allowed more than 700,000 people brought into the United States illegally as children to stay in the country on a two-year authorization to work and attend college, according to several people close to the presidential transition team.

It is unlikely Trump's order will result in an immediate roundup of these immigrants, sources told Reuters. Rather, he is expected to let the authorizations expire.

The issue could set up a confrontation with Obama, who told reporters on Wednesday he would weigh in if he felt the new administration was unfairly targeting those immigrants.

This is what the dumbfuck white racists who put Trump into power want--punitive measures aimed at brown-skinned people.

where he threatens even foreign companies with steep tariffs if they even consider building anything in Mexico, and makes a wall to "keep them out" a central campaign promise - blatant racism and hate.

Living on the west coast, when I think or say "we're all in this together", I mean everybody south of the border as well. So many of the best people I've known and worked with are from or have family in Mexico, I have no issue with an open border, and I am happy if I hear of some prosperity or opportunity down there.

Making america great again would mean, to me, a whole continent of equal and friendly neighbors. Beating your neighbor down into poverty to line your own pockets is just hateful, and never leads to peace or happiness.
