Replacing DACA: Future Dreamers Should Be Protected Too
Newsweak ^ | 9/15/2017 | Michael C. Dorf

With the emergence in the last week of Bipartisan Trump, we face the prospect of congressional implementation of a statute that replaces DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) sooner rather than later. Despite some ambivalent tweeting, it now appears as though Trump has agreed in principle with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi to enshrine DACA in legislation that also includes additional border security measures (but not border wall funding). Between Democrats and pro-business (and thus pro-immigration) "establishment" Republicans, there is likely majority support in Congress for such a measure.

ALL illegal aliens should be removed, we should not have to wait until they harm or kill Americans.

DACA was made up by the Kenyaneisan Usurper, it is not law and should have been ended on day one as promised.

NO ACCOMODATION FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS!

Hard to believe some FReepers actually put credence in Newsweek's biased report. That rag only puts out what it wants to happen.....not what might actually happen.

BINGO!

I agree with you, however the President does NOT alone have that power, it takes a passing vote to get some things done!

If it was possible it would have been done already, but Senators McConnell and Ryan stand in way, as well as Democrats...so he is trying to get as much cooperation as possible! O Drama had severely damaged America, and cleaning it up will be difficult. O Drama had a Democrat majority willing to vote in all he asked!

Remember that MCCAIN stopped the Obamacare vote from passing....so RINOS, Democrats, and wrong thinking will be challenges, but don’t think President Trump isn’t trying to find a way to get as much of his agenda done as possible!

DACA could only be fixed by another Executive Order because that is what created it and made it an illegal program.
Obama dreamed it up and Trump should have ended it Jan. 21st.
I am glad he finally has.
Congress should do nothing for fraudulently documented foreigners until they do something for the citizens.

Obama created it illegally by an Executive Order, which gave Executive Branch more authority than allowed. If Trump acts like Obama, he will be no more than another Obama, who refused to abide by rules.

Congress has legal authority to create laws, not President. So Trump threw it back to Congress....and he gave them six months to fix it! If they do not, he may have to undo Obama’s arrogance with the same! Let us hope the ‘checks and balances’ created by Constitution will work, and Senate ends DACA IN RIGHT WAY! Some will get to stay, if a deal was struck with democrats....however, I am sure Trump insisted on criminals and blood suckers (on social programs like food stamps) be deported.

DACA is illegal and must be ended.
The only way to end it is another executive order, which Trump has done.
Congress should do nothing.
Illegal aliens deserve no exemption from our laws.
