Excerpt:
President Donald Trump issued a statement after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that his administration would wind down DACA — former President Barack Obama’s effort to offer executive amnesty to illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children.
“As President, my highest duty is to defend the American people and the Constitution of the United States of America,” Trump said in a statement of over 900 words. “At the same time, I do not favor punishing children, most of whom are now adults, for the actions of their parents.”
Trump signaled that DACA recipients could extend their permits for up to two years and that pending applications would continue processing.
“This is a gradual process, not a sudden phase out,” the statement read. “Thus, in effect, I am not going to just cut DACA off, but rather provide a window of opportunity for Congress to finally act.”
Trump’s statement tried to explain why legally he had to end the program, despite his concerns for young people who benefited from the amnesty bestowed by Obama.
