MEAN-SPIRITED SUIT AGAINST INNOCENT, HONEST DREAMERS



The President has authority to save the “Dreamers,” (beneficiaries of DACA) but refuses to use it.  Congress has not acted.   The Dreamers do not deserve to be deported.   Those who want them deported are tribalists, without compassion. They were young people brought into the U.S. illegally by their parents.  Many are in college or working.  Deporting them is heartless and cruel and bad policy.  It will hurt employers.  For 6 reasons not to deport them see


 

The lawsuit  [filed by Texas and later jjoined by Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, South Carolina and West Virginia — asserts that the Obama administration overstepped its authority when it created the DACA program, which allows individuals who were brought to the United States illegally as children to remain in the country, without congressional approval.


 

Only six states want it killed.  44 don’t. 

 

President Trump said Thursday he believes Texas and other states will be successful in their lawsuit challenging the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

In a meeting with state officials on prison reform, Mr. Trump noted the presence of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, whose court challenge to DACA came before a federal judge a day earlier.

“Ken just filed a very interesting lawsuit….that I hope is going to be successful,” Mr. Trump said.
