Trump Has No “Heart”
After assuring young undocumented immigrants that they “shouldn’t be very worried,” President Donald Trump has made a cruel decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. DACA provides young people who came to the United States as children temporary protection from deportation and the ability to work and pursue an education. [1]

Nancy Pelosi writes:
I’m speechless.
President Trump just tore apart another piece of President Obama’s legacy.
He just ended DACA and is leaving it up to Congressional Republicans to find a permanent solution in just six months — threatening the future of 8OO,OOO DREAMers.
It’s heartless.
We cannot let President Trump destroy the lives of thousands of immigrant children just to attack President Obama’s legacy.
