WASHINGTON — President Trump has officially reversed his campaign pledge to deport the so-called Dreamers, undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as small children.

The Department of Homeland Security announced late Thursday night that it would continue the Obama-era program intended to protect those immigrants from deportation and provide them work permits so they can find legal employment.

A fact sheet posted on the department’s website says immigrants enrolled in the 2012 program, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, “will continue to be eligible” to renew every two years and notes that “no work permits will be terminated prior to their current expiration dates.”

Immigration rights activists, who have fiercely battled Mr. Trump’s travel ban and increased enforcement of other immigration laws, hailed the decision.

1. Oh his base will love this

[LonePirate]

5. This could be the straw that breaks the camel's back of his base.

They are already pissed about Hillary not being in jail. Now that he's backing off his hardline, racist rhetoric, they don't have many reasons left to support him.

[DK504]

10. And he's at 64% now....

LOL....he'll go down to his 13% base and have an 87% disapproval level.....Ha Ha.

[katmondoo]

2. Maybe he is afraid of getting shot !!!!!!!

[tanyev]

4. I wondered if there was anything that could alienate the die-hards still supporting him.

I think he might have found it.

6. What about those already deported ?

[Igel]

12. They're "home."

Back where "their" culture is indigenous.

I doubt that they're revoke something that's done; in fact, in a few cases there might be a technical violation that permits the deportation under DACA.

7. Seeing as President Duh Donald would have had to start deporting middle-aged heavyset white males

in the wake of the Steve Scalise shooting, I guess he had no choice...

8. Purging low wage hard workers from the US

was never going to work well. Restaurants, farm workers, landscape, building
businesses hit hard. Deport these people and deport their paychecks, deport
the value they provide our businesses that feed profitability.

It was just another #MAGA delusion based on poorly conceptualized ideas viewed through
self-aggrandizement and rose-colored glasses.

9. Mueller Desperation Syndrome

He knows he's being hunted, and anything he perceives as pleasing to a majority of us will be tossed in front of the wolf.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. Yup. Desperation. . . . . nt

[TalenaGor]

13. good! Glad to see hes finally been neutered

a man with no desire to make waves or cause any more controversy it seems...

bring on the pee tapes!!

[Aristus]

14. Aww, the haterz has a sad...

[haele]

15. Yeah, right. Guess he's throwing another lie out there.

ICE already has the go-ahead to bulk up their numbers by going after the "soft targets" - the dreamers and the people just trying to live a normal life - instead of any actual criminals.
That's why the administration is so hard on "sanctuary cities" - they want local and state police to use their resources to take responsibility for federal jurisdiction tracking and detaining the criminal undocumented rather than risking their cowardly "ICE" asses taking on the "bad hombres" that move interstate when they cross the border - as ICE and DHS are supposed to.

More money for their Security Industrial Corporate friends as they force the state and local governments to buy the same crap they buy bulk. In their perfect SIC world, every community is going to have to buy the extra equipment and guns, and contract out to build the private jails in low-income neighborhoods...as well as paying taxes for the Feds to do the same thing.

It will be detention centers and immigrant police near every major intersection! ICE as a franchise business communities are forced to purchase.

White House says no determination yet on 'Dreamer' immigrants

By Julia Edwards Ainsley | WASHINGTON

The Trump administration is still reviewing a policy set in 2012 by U.S. President Barack Obama that protects from deportation nearly 600,000 immigrants brought into the country illegally by their parents, known as "Dreamers," a White House spokesman said on Friday.

"No final determination has been made," said the spokesman, who asked that his name not be used.

Rescinding the policy known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, would anger those who have said President Donald Trump is already too tough on immigration enforcement. But leaving it in place would conflict with a promise Trump made on the presidential campaign trail.

There was confusion over whether the policy would remain in place late Thursday after the Department of Homeland Security published a notice that it would rescind another Obama-era immigration policy.

In fact, the White House spokesman said, the statement was only meant to clarify that the rescission of the program for parents would have no impact on the program for immigrants who arrived as children.
