Democratic Leaders Outraged Over DACA Axing
Democratic leaders were quick to express outrage over President Trump's decision to let Congress decide the fate of "Dreamers," children brought to the U.S. illegally.
The president passed the baton to Congress regarding the
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The Obama-era program was criticized as an overreach of executive authority.
Obama in 2012 called the "Dreamer" program "a temporary stop-gap measure."
"This is temporary. Congress needs to act," the former president said.
Democratic Party Chair Tom Perez called the decision a "devastating blow to families & our economy."
