What does Obama think of Trump's decision to abolish DACA?

On September 6th, it was reported that the US Department of Justice announced the cancellation of the DACA project at 1 1 on the morning of the 5th EDT. Attorney General sessions said: "DACA has been cancelled." Trump had previously given a six-month buffer period to abolish the DACA plan, giving the US Congress enough time to study this issue. Obama issued a statement attacking Trump's decision.

Trump issued a statement saying: "As president, my highest responsibility is to protect the American people and the US Constitution. I'm not punishing these children. We must realize that we are a country ruled by law. I'm not simply cutting DACA, I want to give Congress a chance to pass the final bill. Before asking whether it is fair to illegal immigrants, we must first ask whether it is fair to American families. We will solve the DACA problem with sympathy. Now is the time for Congress to act! "

Trump said that Obama's DACA plan was implemented without the consent of Congress, which exceeded Obama's authority.

Obama said in a statement on the 5 th: "Dream students think that they are Americans in their hearts and minds. Only what is presented on the paper is not. They were brought to America when they were very young. They don't know any other country except us. They can't even speak other languages except English. "

Obama said on the 5th that Trump's action to abolish DACA was "cruel" and self-defeating.

Obama's statement said: "It is wrong to target these young people. Because these young people have done nothing wrong. This will be self-defeating. Because these young people want to start a new company, serve the army and contribute to the country. The reality is cruel. "

Obama wrote: "This is a political decision. This is a moral issue. " "No matter what worries or complaints Americans have about immigration in general, we should not threaten the future of this group of young people here. They didn't threaten, they didn't threaten, they didn't take anything from us. "

Former Vice President Biden also tweeted condemnation. He said: "These children were brought by their parents. They had no choice but to come here." Now we have to send them back to countries they are not familiar with. Cruel. This is not America. "

White House spokesman Sanders said that Trump made a "responsible" decision. We have confidence in the next action of Congress. In addition, she also said that this is a difficult decision.

Sessions called the DACA program "unconstitutional" and denied the work of Americans. He said that the Justice Department could not defend such plans. He said that the government will "contain" Obama's plan. Sessions believes that this plan is an unconstitutional exercise of power, which is equivalent to unilateral administrative Amnesty.

Sessions said that the president will issue an executive order to cancel the project. Congress will pass an appropriate bill to continue this policy.

Sessions said: "We are compassionate people and legal persons. But we have no sympathy for the failure to implement the immigration law. "

Trump announced on Tuesday that he would abolish the DACA project. He wrote on Twitter: "Congress, get ready for work-DACA!"

The Department of Homeland Security also issued a memorandum to abolish the DACA project.

After learning this news, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) issued a statement saying that it was a "cruel day" for all "dream students" and their families, and even all Americans.

The "dream students" who protested outside the White House said that they were ready for a fierce struggle.

* * * Republican congressmen also have their own views on the DACA plan. House Speaker Ryan said: "Obama's DACA plan is an obvious abuse of power." * * * Republican Arizona Senator John McCain said: "I believe that it is unacceptable for those who apply for DACA to cancel DACA now." I want to reassure those who are afraid that I will protect those who apply for DACA in the United States, said Rep. Don Bacon, Republican of Nebraska.

Democratic congressmen strongly criticized Trump. House Minority Leader Pelosi said: "Trump's cowardice has been fully demonstrated today. His cruelty is intolerable. " Senate Minority Leader Schumer said: "Americans now know how ruthless it is to end DACA." California Senator Harris said: "Trump is once again on the side of division and hatred. This order will bring disaster. It will make those young people go back to countries they don't understand and consume a lot of money. This is ruthless. "

According to reports, Trump canceled the "Deferred Action for Child Entry (DACA)" implemented by the Obama administration five years ago. The DACA program is applicable to illegal immigrants who are under 365,438+0 years old, have lived in the United States for more than five years, and entered the United States for the first time before 65,438+06 years old. Eligible people are allowed to stay in the United States for two years and temporarily avoid repatriation.

Outside the White House, many people gathered to protest against the abolition of the DACA plan.
