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.
The administration’s deliberations on the issue have been fluid and fast moving, and the president has faced strong warnings from members of his own party not to scrap the program.
Trump has wrestled for months with whether to do away with the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, known as DACA. But 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 and kick the issue to Congress, the two sources said.
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.”
This is probably one of the most popular policy decisions that President Obama made during his two terms, so of course Trump needs to shit on it.
And by the way the press needs to stop promoting the White House's spin that Trump has "wrestled" with this. The only thing Trump wrestles with is his pants when he struggles to slide his gargantuan ass into them in the morning.
Trump wants to erase ALL of President Obama's legacies. So of course he is going after DACA.
And even though Paul Ryan and other top Republicans are not exactly on board with this decision, they seem to believe that Congress is the place for creating immigration policy.
However I would point out that the reason Obama implemented DACA was because Congress could not get off their ass and really do anything meaningful about immigration in the first place.
Yeah, I choked on the "wrestled with" thing too. In order to wrestle with something you have to give a shit.
ReplyDeleteTrump's strategy here is to "ban" DACA young people, but wait for 6 months so it dies down in the media before KKK leader Jeff Sessions enforces it through ICE.
ReplyDeleteTrump is absolutely focused on MONEY first, and then deleting EVERYTHING OBAMA TOUCHED OR IMPLEMENTED.
Trump doesn't give a shit if a bunch of young teens get dumped off a plane in foreign countries, and are taken advantage of or suffer because of it.
Trump is a heartless racist sex predator bastard who deserves a giant aneuryism or impeachment, whichever happens first
ICE is already throwing out DACA people. They have deported several of them this year. So, they only got the go-ahead from the S.O.B. WHO has a heart of hippopotamus dung!
DeleteA.J., i'm betting on a heart attack. i don't want to say he could die, but he's ruining this country at the speed of sound. and you why he's doing it-Obama is black and much beloved- and trump can't deal with it. i've never seen such a fragile ego. his people have to lie to him, they tell him he's such a great president and he knows the truth!!
DeleteIf there was a God, Trump would have died already.
DeleteProof positive there is no God.
He's a low class prick! I literally detest the man and everything he stands for and does! He is not the potus for the majority of Americans and never will be!

DeleteWeakling coward Donald Trump trips over his own DACA rollback
ReplyDelete...Here’s how you know Trump is too much of a coward to put his stamp on this move, one way or the other: he’s said nothing. He quietly leaked it to the media on a Sunday night before the Labor Day holiday, hoping his decision will get the least amount of media coverage possible, as Americans head out to the beach tomorrow to celebrate what this country is supposed to be about. More to the point, the little wuss hasn’t tweeted a thing about his DACA decision, because he’s too much of a coward to even know how to spin it.
Of course that’ll inevitably change.
http://www.palmerreport.com/opinion/coward-daca-trump/4724/
...In a cowardly attempt at kicking the immigration can down the road, Trump decided to announce the end of DACA on a six month delay. This has even moderate conservatives up in arms, because no one anywhere near the American mainstream likes the idea of punishing children based on skin color. And yet what’s left of Trump’s racist base won’t be happy either, because he just handed Congress six months to undo his own decision.

Buckle up, Donald Trump: this week will set your entire presidency on fire

Not only did this coward leak this on a Sunday evening, but he leaked it on a Sunday that he declared to be 'a Day of Prayer'! I guess, he was prying that people would not notice his dastardly deed. WRONG!!! Almost a MILLION young people will be thrown out of our country (remember, ICE knows where they live and where they work, because they had to report each year to ICE!). The economic damage to those young people, and to our country, in innumerable.
DeleteI just hope, Canada will be willing to take these economic and political refugees!
Cowardly Trump Leaks Decision To Kill DACA Over Labor Day Weekend
ReplyDelete...Instead of standing in front of the television cameras and explaining his decision to the Dreamers and millions of families who could be broken up by ending DACA, the Trump White House leaked the decision over a holiday weekend to dodge criticism.
Trump is trying to catch both his critics and the media off guard and avoid accountability.
The President’s message in ending DACA is that he doesn’t care if Republicans lose Congress. He is governing for the small base of bigots and racists who continue to support him.
The man in the Oval Office is a heartless coward.

Trump Wants To Tax Your Retirement Account To Pay For Tax Cuts For The Rich and Corporations
ReplyDeleteOne of the proposals being floated by the Trump White House on tax reform is to tax the retirement plan contributions of workers upfront to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.
...The plan to tax workers to give rich people a tax cut perfectly sums up the Trump presidency. Donald Trump isn’t governing for regular Americans. Trump is only interested in helping people like himself and pandering to the bigoted right wing fringe that makes up the bulk of his support.
Under Donald Trump, workers will be sacrificing their future retirement so that that rich people can have a tax cut today.

That is the brainchild of that evil Manuchin. HE MUST GO!!!
DeleteHe's also taking away Social Security Disability.
DeleteIt's all about destroying Obama's legacy and appealing to his racist base. He cares about Donald Trump and only Donald Trump. He is a monster.
ReplyDeleteTrump is even worse than Hitler! We need to get rid of his fat ass from our government asap!
DeleteRepublicans - where are you? Get your acts together and impeach the bastard!
When your dealing with a monster (trump).
ReplyDeleteIt's very difficult not to be angry all the time.
I cannot even stand to look at his hideous face nor listen to his sarcastic hateful racist lies!
When will he go away? Hopefully very soon?
This Thread Highlights Anxiety For Dreamers Over The Uncertainty Of DACA
ReplyDelete...Juan Escalante, a digital campaigns manager for pro-immigration group America’s Voice, put together a Twitter thread Sunday night to shine a spotlight on the anxieties Dreamers will have to contend with over the next months.
In over 20 tweets, Escalante, himself an undocumented immigrant, gave a guide to some of the logistical and emotional considerations he and others now face.

ReplyDeleteThe Republicans are happy for Trump. He makes the evil decisions and they will say nay or yay.
ReplyDeleteHe is their front man to issues that would offend a good hearted American and it's a toss up to whether they will pass it if the good hearted Americans are against it, or the now totally operative KKK is for it. The end. That's how they are making their decisions now. No if, ands, and buts on that one.

DeleteObama to speak out if Trump ends DACA
ReplyDeleteObama’s current plan is to post a statement on Facebook and link to it on Twitter, where the former president has more than 94 million followers. In his final presidential press availability, he suggested that he would speak out if Trump went after the Dreamers — and that it was one of the few issues where he would feel morally compelled to do so. He said he would not remain silent in the face of “efforts to round up kids who have grown up here and for all practical purposes are American kids, and send them someplace else, when they love this country.”

Last night it was revealed that Donald Trump will end DACA in six months, thus ruining the lives of eight hundred thousand hard working Americans who happen to have been born elsewhere, harming the U.S. economy, and benefiting no one beyond the sadistic racists who like to see non-white people suffer. So did his supposedly non-racist daughter Ivanka Trump spend the morning racing into the Oval Office trying to get him to change his mind? Not quite.
ReplyDeleteInstead of trying to do anything to stop her father from ruining innocent people’s lives, Ivanka Trump spent the morning liking photos of herself on Instagram. No, really.

Trump's new budget also eliminates Social Security Disability, despite the fact workers have paid into it and one of Trump's campaign promises was to keep his hands off Social Security.
ReplyDeleteTrump's minions have learned if they phrase thing just right they can get anything they want, putting one over on the imbecile and thief.
The COWARD isn't even going to make his own announcement.
ReplyDeleteSince when does Donald Trump NOT want to be in front of a camera giving a speech?
Nope.
For this little bombshell of poison he's going to have Jeff Sessions do it. You know. The little hooded face of the WHITE house.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-daca-jeff-sessions_us_59ae0eb2e4b0354e440bf5c3?section=us_politics
"Attorney General Jeff Sessions will hold a news briefing Tuesday morning at the Department of Justice to discuss the fate of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, an Obama-era executive action that protects young undocumented immigrants from deportation. Trump is reportedly planning to shutter the program after a six-month delay."
"The president, meanwhile, seems like he’d prefer that the whole debate just go away. According to the New York Times, an “exasperated” Trump asked his aides for “a way out” of a situation he boxed himself into by promising to repeal the program immediately upon taking office, while also insisting he would show “great heart” in dealing with Dreamers."
I guess the answer was to get his pet toad to do the dirty.
I guess that great black heart of Trump's was getting his clean white robes all dirty.
