800 thousand people threatened with deportation: tramp stopped protection program for young migrants

The program was introduced by Obama and was named "Dreamers".

US President Donald Trump stopped the program on Tuesday imposed by his predecessor Barack Obama, who protects against

the deportation of immigrants who illegally arrived to the United States by children. Under the threat of deportation were almost 800 thousand young people.

The decision was not announced by the president but by the Attorney General Jeff Seshns. He called the introduction of a program known as the DACA, an unconstitutional overstatement of Barack Obama's powers.

Later Trump issued a written statement saying "I do not propose to punish children, most of whom are adults, for the actions of their parents, but we must also recognize that we are a nation of opportunities because we are a nation of laws."

Now the fate of young migrants is to be decided by the Congress, most of which are Republicans. It is the congressmen who must pass a law that will regulate the further fate of the program participants.

The DACA, also called the Dreamers program, provided for permission for young migrants to work in addition to protection against deportation. It primarily spread to Latin Americans, most of them are over the age of 20.

The participants of the program were about 800,000 people. They recognized their status as illegal immigrants and provided the government with their personal information. Now they are under threat of deportation in March of next year. Dreamliners are part of approximately 11 million illegal migrants in the United States, most of them Latin Americans.
