President Donald Trump threatens to permanently remove another key pillar to the foundation of the former presidency that was built by his predecessor, President Barack Obama. To clarify, the pillar I speak of is the DACA, or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. The DACA is a statement that claims that any underage/minor illegal immigrants have the right to work and have access to a renewable two-year period to stay within the country without being deported.
During a press conference shortly after Trump made these statements, no questions were answered about whether or not the president would consider changing this process or change the idea of continuing this at all. However, it is important to mention that this seems highly unlikely because the main source attempting to remove the DACA, besides Mr. Trump, is the State of Texas, which is currently having enough issues with the horrors and damage left behind from Hurricane Harvey. As of now, this is a tug of war from within both sides rather than between the two sides. Not surprisingly, this is seen from Mr. Trump as he's sworn to protect those who use the DACA program, such as college students, while also promising to have no mercy on illegal immigrants, including college students. Once again, the system here is only seen as black and white, but it makes it even more difficult to acknowledge that for almost all of the immigrants there is nothing but grey.
