DACA recipients should prepare for departure from the United States

Washington (CNN)White House talking points on Tuesday urged DACA recipients to prepare for a "departure from the United States," a much starker possible future than Trump administration officials used in public when announcing an end to the program

The statement was contained in a background document that was sent by the White House to offices on Capitol Hill, obtained by CNN from multiple sources.

In the "DACA talking points" memo, the White House laid out a number of bullet points for supporters on Tuesday's announcement outlining the administration's action. One bullet point suggests DACA participants should prepare to leave the country.

"The Department of Homeland Security urges DACA recipients to use the time remaining on their work authorizations to prepare for and arrange their departure from the United States -- including proactively seeking travel documentation -- or to apply for other immigration benefits for which they may be eligible," the memo says.

Well at least Trump has great heart for DACA beneficiaries. I'm sure that will comfort them greatly as they traverse foreign streets perhaps not speaking the local language. 

 

I hear Google Translate is actually pretty good these days.

Odd you should mention that, Channel 2 locally just covered the situation with a whole lost of stats about those in Colorado, why would they not speak their native language? 

 

We both seem to be managing to traverse foreign streets,

Not every foreign-born family teach their children languages other than English; some do, some don't.

Hasta la vista, well, perhaps.

Going to vary but I doubt it is much of an issue in Colorado.

[Hypnos 6,577]

My maths is hazy, but I think there are 49 other states.

This made me sick to my stomach. On the other hand, not much that man does doesn't. 

"I have so much love for the dreamers"

Pfft .. if that's how you treat ppl you love.

Trump wants to strike a deal with the Democrats. He gave it 6 months, I give you DACA you give me the supposed southern wall funding. But hurricane Harvey could have gave Trump a way out. The damage left behind is at least $180B. Plus there is another one heading towards Florida. The wall is estimated to cost between $70B to $150B. Do you give the funds to rebuild Texas and take care of the people or build a wall? Maybe the administration can build giant umbrellas over the states too.

Since Republicans control all levers of government in DC, if they fail to pass anything for Harvey relief in Texas then the buck will stop at only one location.

 

I've heard that there might be some narrow compromise where Democrats agree to some "border security" (not wall) funding, and in exchange a new DREAM Act is actually passed by Congress and signed by the President. Obviously this is early days, and much is going to change.

 

It's actually a shrewd piece of business by Trump. Make no mistake the man is a clown who is out of his depth on wet pavement, but by pushing the issue back to Congress (and ultimately it never really left them, since it was their initial inaction that caused Obama to create DACA and then DAPA in the first place) it moves the spotlight off a bandaid fix and perhaps onto a more long-term permanent solution.

He could have pushed a long-term solution in a humane way, without pulling out the rug from underneath hundreds of thousands young ppl.

If this long-term solution fails to materialize no one but Trump owns ruining the life's of all of them. Not that I think it'll keep him up at night. His soul is like a rotten apple. To think I at one point had hopes that he could prove so mny of us wrong.. 

I don't see "shrewd business" in anything he does... I see him wanting it to look that way - he can't run a business and he sure as heck can't run a country. He has no morals and a country exists in the realm of living ppl not in an isolated world of pluses, minuses and percentages.

If you are looking for someone to blame Obama is your man.

I fail to see how one man's action is owned by anyone but himself. That's like saying it's your fault I hit you. He owns his decision. No one made him do this but himself.
