This is going to be an immense blow to Mexico. I imagine the govt. over there is fuming right now.

This doesn't end once he's gone. Republicans are just as garbage, that's why they had no problem backing him.
What the hell are you talking about? Dreamers can't vote.
Donald Trump is a fucking liar and everyone knew this and still voted for him.
These people cannot vote.

damn when you think he can't sink any lower
70K people in three states vote the other way and none of this horror happens.
The Electoral College is wacky fun.

It does prevent them from having kids who will vote as birth-right citizens, however.
Yeah, it really is. In the imigration debate, not punishing people for being brought here as children should be the bare minimum in any humane policy. It's just indefensible cruelty.

Everyone who didn't do their part to stop this fascist piece of orange shit coming to power just because Hillary wasn't their perfect candidate needs to once again take a moment to reflect on what they have done.
And how many of those would be in calif where it doesn't matter anyway?
:Edit:
You know... assuming they would be dem. Or can vote.

This is incredibly depressing, but don't fret quite yet. This is an incredibly difficult process to even enact, and it will be met with a ton of resistance. I would get in touch with the ACLU.

Can he himself end it or does there have to be a process of going through courts? I hope it's the latter and I hope it blows up in his face. Guy is human garbage.

Most assuredly it would be an executive order.

Limiting this to Mexico is short sighted. A bulk of these people are certainly Mexican but you have plenty of Asians (Korean), Central American immigrants, etc.
Frankly, it's a brain drain for the US as well! Many of these DACA recipients have either graduated from college in the last 5 years , have degrees and are working at high paying jobs or are in the process of doing so while they work.
The average wage of a DACA recipient increased from $10 an hour to over $17 in the last 5 years.
Doing this is an utter cruelty and frankly people must protest and push CONGRESS to enact a law that codifies DACA into actual policy. We shouldn't limit it to just DACA - this country is reaching an panic level regarding immigration reform. We MUST reform this immigration system.

Trump doesn't think that far ahead and lets be honest the only thing he cares about are himself and TV ratings.

He's doing this to push that "they took our jobs" bullshit. Also he hated brown people.

If promising to deport around a million Americans doesn't get people to riot, I don't know what will.
Most of it is... but not enough where it counts.
You have a big fucking lump of coal in your chest.
Be careful. You'll be dancing on top of a large puddle of piss.

Which is ironic, because I got my current promotion because no one else wanted to do the work the position entailed
LMAO
Not seeing the receipts on this right now.
It gives them a vasectomy?
Make it count
What would people that have been in the country for 10+ years, since they were children, even do in Mexico?
This is just ruining lives to make racists feel good for a week. 800k is a ton of people, but pretty insignificant to the country as a whole. 0.25%. It's not like Americans will all of a sudden be swimming in jobs.

If only it were possible for only the people who voted for this clown to bear the consequences of his actions. They're the ones who should be dealing with everything he does, not the rest of the world's population.

Sorry bro. I immediately thought of you once I saw this thread. I'd like to say keep hope alive, we will make it but I dunno I'm pretty fucking shook

The better question is: was Texas going to make good on their threat to sue the federal government over DACA on September 5th given everything that happened with Harvey? The Texas Attorney General was leading a coalition of other officials from GOP states to push a federal lawsuit to force the end of DACA.
I'm almost certain this is why Trump is doing this now, mere days before the arbitrary September 5 deadline the Texas AG imposed.

If they're being forced to leave in two years, it doesn't give much time to establish a family. Most DREAMers are college-aged, am I correct?

To all of those DACA recipients in the thread, go see an immigration attorney immediately. There are great people out there doing amazing work to help you and other immigrants in this country and understanding your options is increasingly important. Someone made the recommendation to contact the ACLU which is also worthwhile. Do not wait.
