Donald Trump: Immigrants and Hail Mary

donald trump: At least 50 congressional Democrats are pushing Obama to take the rare if not unprecedented step of granting pardons to the young immigrants who have stepped forward to identify themselves in exchange for a promise that they'd be safe from deportation, according to CTV. The White House, though, has repeatedly ruled that out. His options appear few. Several Republican lawmakers are crafting legislative proposals to solidify the place of these immigrants, sometimes called Dreamers, before Donald Trump takes office Jan. 20. That leaves more than 741,000 immigrants wondering what's next. Similar efforts have repeatedly failed, even with Democratic majorities in both chambers of Congress, so the likelihood of a legislative Hail Mary isn't great. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
