Illegal immigration rests with parents who violated our laws and put their kids at risk.
While the Trump administration is busy fulfilling the president’s promise to protect the interests of the American people and enforce our immigration laws, the news media are fixated on the fate of illegal aliens who enjoy temporary protection under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
DACA was an overly broad and unconstitutional exercise of executive power by President Obama that would likely have been struck down by the courts had it been challenged. In addition to being unconstitutional, DACA also triggered a surge of illegal immigration of unaccompanied minors and families with children in tow. The message it sent was that coming to the U.S. illegally, or bringing children here illegally, would be rewarded.
