Donald Trump has decided to end the “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” program, also known as DACA. This program allowed certain illegal immigrants who had arrived as minors to remain in America. It was a compassionate attempt to deal with blameless children whose parents brought them to this country illegally, many of whom had never known another home but America. The debate about executive overreach by the Obama administration in creating the program is a valid one, but the decision to simply end it without providing for these people is unconscionable.
Trump was too chickenshit to announce this change himself, however, and instead used Attorney General Jeff Sessions for the task. GQ minced no words in ripping apart the disgusting disingenuousness of Sessions’ speech.
