Trump orders end to program shielding immigrant ‘dreamers’
By JILL COLVIN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President
Donald Trump on Tuesday began
dismantling Barack Obama’s
program protecting hundreds of
thousands of young immigrants
who were brought into the country
illegally as children, declaring he
loves the “dreamers” who could
face deportation but insisting it’s
up to Congress, not him, to address
their plight.
Trump didn’t specify what he
wanted done, essentially sending a
six-month time bomb to his fellow
Republicans in Congress who have
no consensus on how to defuse it.
On Twitter Tuesday night, he
wrote: “Congress now has 6 months
to legalize DACA (something the
Obama Administration was unable
to do). If they can’t, I will revisit
this issue!”
The president tried to have it
both ways with his compromise
plan: fulfilling his campaign
promise to eliminate the Deferred
Action for Childhood Arrivals
program, or DACA, while at the
same time showing compassion for
those who would lose deportation
protection and the ability to work
legally in the U.S. New applications
will be rejected and the program
will be formally rescinded, but
the administration will continue
to renew existing two-year work
permits for the next six months,
giving Congress time to act.
“I have a love for these people
and hopefully now Congress will
be able to help them and do it prop-
erly,” Trump told reporters.
Yet at the same time, the White
House distributed talking points to
members of Congress that included
a dark warning: “The Department
of Homeland Security urges DACA
recipients to use the time remaining
on their work authorizations to
prepare for and arrange their depar-
ture from the United States.”
Although Trump’s announcement
had been anticipated in recent days, it
still left young people covered by the
DACA program reeling.
“You just feel like you are
empty,” said a sobbing Paola
Martinez, 23, who came to the
U.S. from Colombia and recently
graduated with a civil engineering
degree from Florida International
University
“I honestly can’t even process
it right now,” said Karen Marin,

Protesters assemble in the Wayne Morse Free Speech Plaza in down-
town Eugene on Tuesday. The gathering was intended to express sol-
idarity against the Trump administration’s plan to end the Obama-era
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which shield-
ed young undocumented immigrants from deportation.
an immigrant from Mexico, who
was in a physics class at Bronx
Community College when the news
broke. “I’m still trying to get myself
together.”
Their predicament now shifts
to Congress, which has repeatedly
tried — and failed — to pass immi-
gration legislation.
White House Press Secretary
Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the
president would look to Congress
to pass a “responsible immigration
reform package” with money to
control the border with Mexico and
better protect American workers’ jobs
— along with protecting “dreamers.”
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the
No. 2 Senate Republican, said if
Trump truly wants a comprehen-
sive immigration reform package,
including a solution for the 11
million immigrants in the country
illegally, he’s certain to be disap-
pointed. Congress tried that and
failed in 2013, and GOP leaders
immediately ruled it out Tuesday.
“Guaranteed failure,” Cornyn
said.
If the goal is a more incremental
package that combines a solution
for the “dreamers” with steps such
as visa reforms and enhanced
border security, “there may be a
deal to be had,” Cornyn said.
Sanders’ blunt warning to
lawmakers skeptical they can come
up with a plan: “If they can’t, then
they should get out of the way and
let somebody else take their job that
can actually get something done.”
The DACA program was created
by former President Obama by
executive action in 2012, when it
became clear Congress would not
act to address the young immi-
grants’ plight in legislation that was
dubbed the “Dream Act.” Trump
ran his campaign as an immigra-
tion-hard liner, labeling DACA
as illegal “amnesty” and pledging
to repeal it immediately. But he
shifted his approach after the elec-
tion, expressing sympathy for the
“dreamers,” many of whom were
brought to the U.S. by their parents
when they were very young and
have no memories of the counties
where they were born.

Childhood Arrivals, or DACA.
to gradually phase out the program
as the best of bad options: State
officials had threatened a lawsuit if
he did not act by Tuesday to repeal
the program, which has given
nearly 800,000 young immigrants
a reprieve from deportation and the
ability to work legally in the U.S.
in the form of two-year, renewable
work permits.
“In effect, I am not going to
just cut DACA off, but rather
provide a window of opportunity
for Congress to finally act,” Trump
said. He said he was not in favor of
punishing children for the actions of
their parents, but he added, “Young
Americans have dreams, too.”

Lawmakers were trickling
back to the Capitol Tuesday from
a summer recess and already are
confronting a daunting to-do list
including a relief package for Hurri-
cane Harvey victims and a pressing
need to raise the federal borrowing
limit. Some GOP lawmakers and
aides are discussing the possi-
bility of a bipartisan immigration
package, including a solution for
the dreamers, money for border
security and enforcement, and
perhaps other items like changes to
some visa programs.
A stand-alone bill addressing
just the “dreamers” seems unlikely
to pass the House, given the firm
stance of many conservatives. And
it’s unclear whether Trump would
sign it anyway.
U.S. Rep. Greg Walden (R-Or-
egon) sent out a statement after the
announcement Tuesday saying it is
“up to Congress to find a permanent
solution” and it is “past time for
Congress to act on this issue.”
“I’ve long been a supporter of
stronger security on America’s
borders — countries that do not
have control of their borders do
not have control of their national
security,” he said. “That is what will
lead us to much-needed immigra-
tion reform, and it is vital to fixing
our broken system.”
Walden also expressed sympathy
for those caught in the “limbo” of
the current immigration system.
“These are kids who know no
other country as their home and were
brought here through no fault of their
own at a young age,” he said.
U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Or-
egon) agreed that Congress must
collaborate on immigration reform,
but decried Trump’s dismantling of
the program.
“This effort from the White House
to punish hundreds of thousands of
innocent young Americans and split
apart families goes against our Amer-
ican values and further divides our
nation,” he said. “I will be fighting
tooth and nail alongside my Senate
colleagues to preserve the ability of
these young people to continue to
contribute to our country.”
House Speaker Paul Ryan said
he hoped the “House and Senate,
with the president’s leadership,
will be able to find consensus on a
permanent legislative solution that
includes ensuring that those who
have done nothing wrong can still
contribute as a valued part of this
great country.”
