Childhood Arrivals: Program and Immigration Policies

childhood arrivals: Since taking office, Trump has expressed empathy for the participants often called dreamers, many of whom have no memory of living anywhere but the United States, according to CTV. Cancelling the program could mean trying to deport more than 787,000 people who identified themselves to the government in exchange for temporary protection. The mixed signals reflect the political sensitivities behind the Obama administration program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. As a candidate who put tough immigration policies at the core of his campaign, Donald Trump denounced the program as an illegal amnesty and said he would immediately end it. The Homeland Security Department said Thursday that the program would remain in effect. A court had blocked the DAPA program and it has never been implemented. That statement was included at the end of an announcement of the cancellation of a related Obama program, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans, which would have protected the immigrant parents of U.S. citizens.
