CBS: Trump to keep DACA in new immigration policy?


posted at 8:41 am on February 21, 2017 by Ed Morrissey

It depends on how one defines “keep.” Donald Trump argued against Barack Obama’s unilateral actions on immigration, including the DAPA and expanded DACA programs, both of which got put into limbo by federal courts. When asked in last week’s press conference about DACA and the so-called “dreamers” — children brought into the country illegally by their parents — Trump replied that his immigration policy would show “great heart” in those cases. Today, CBS reports that Trump’s new immigration policy keeps DACA in place.

Or perhaps better put, it doesn’t explicitly eliminate it:

He's said repeatedly that he "wants to do something for those kids", or something like that.

So news stories are so corrupt and fake that the headlines now have a question mark?

What we can do is send them home with their parents.
