President Barack: Press Briefing and Campaign Pledge

president barack: While White House spokesman Sean Spicer, at his first press briefing, did not explicitly rule out action on the program known as DACA, his comments suggest that Trump's initial policies will be similar to Obama's, according to Metro News. Spicer noted Trump has said his focus would be on immigrants in the country illegally who have a criminal record or pose a threat. Those protected from deportation under former President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program have been worried that Trump would follow through on a campaign pledge to immediately end the illegal amnesty. That's where the priority's going to be, and then we're going to continue to work through the entire number of folks that are here illegally, he said. Spicer's comments echo what Trump said in an interview shortly after the election, when he told CBS' 60 Minutes that the focus would on probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million criminals living in the country illegally. He added that those immigrants who have overstayed visas will also be among the administration's enforcement priorities. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
