The Trump administration is shifting its tone on how it handles immigrants brought to the U.S. as children under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Also known as DACA, the program was created in 2012 to protect children who arrived in the country illegally prior to 2007 from deportation.
In recent months, the administration has tried to strip 525,000 DACA recipients, also known as Dreamers, of benefits, although no regulatory changes have been made to end the program.
For example, the Health and Human Services Department said it would make DACA recipients ineligible for the federal healthcare marketplace in June. Then last week, the Education Department said it was looking into five universities that offer financial help for DACA recipients. Also, immigration enforcement officers have arrested and detained DACA recipients throughout the country, which immigrant advocates said weakens protections of this group.
We’ve spent tons of money educating them, and the vast majority have never even been to another country. If the governments word can’t be trusted, then politicians are just highly paid plinking targets
All of them have been to another country. They just left when they were young.
As an adult, you tit.
DrFistington should have written that, then. He implied this was linked to the birthright citizenship debacle.
