Repeal of DACA cruel, based on baloney

BY ERWIN CHEMERINSKY
SEPTEMBER 11, 2017 12:53 PM

... The repeal of DACA must be understood as nothing more than a mean-spirited part of their anti-immigrant agenda.

... No one believes that the federal government has to prosecute every violation of every federal crime or to deport every person who is eligible for deportation ...

... In 1987, in response to politics in El Salvador and Nicaragua .. Reagan .. took executive action to stop deportations for 200,000 Nicaraguan exiles.

In 1990 .. George H.W. Bush, to advance his foreign policy, stopped deportations of Chinese students and in 1991 kept hundreds of Kuwait citizens who were illegally in the United States from being deported. In 2001 .. George W. Bush limited deportation of Salvadorian citizens ...

Trump and Sessions have created great uncertainty, for no good reason, for 800,000 people who never have done anything wrong and who add so much to our country. They should be ashamed.
