White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday made clear that Congress is on the hook to find a solution after President Donald Trump terminated the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

During her daily briefing, Sanders declined to say whether Trump would sign an extension to the program, which granted legal protection to undocumented immigrants who entered the United States as children.

Sanders said only that Trump “is hoping to work with Congress on responsible immigration reform.”

A Department of Homeland Security official told reporters Tuesday morning that current DACA recipients whose permits expire before March 5, 2018 will be eligible to apply for a renewal of their protections, but those whose permits expire later will be eligible for deportation immediately afterward.

1. This is like watching a nazi movie.

Let me see your papers.

[Solly Mack]

2. I really hate republicans.

I appreciate that they hate me too. I'm OK with that.

I'd question my entire existence if a republican even liked me, much less loved me.

3. 'Congress is on the hook,'

right where we want them, as in health'care.'

It's again up to US!

4. Further confirmation

that Republicans are incapable of sound, responsible governance.

6. I would suggest..

that if you are a dreamer from El Salvador le Honduras, investigate if you might be eligible for Temporary Protected Status. If Congress doesn't cancel it too.

7. Ex post facto

If Congress passed what Trump via Sessions has done, wouldn't that be an ex post facto law?

8. That's because Steve Bannon

Hasn't told him what to do next.

9. White house can't admit they might change course.

This was the orange assailant playing to his racist base even if he knew it was gonna be a "political" shitstorm. His mouth has written a check that his ass now has to cash, and he's afraid to blink because he's running a game. He's PRAYING the rest of the GOP will save him from this (well, assuming he's actually sentient which is open for debate...)

He blundered ahead with this and now he needs saving. Dems will help because it's the humane thing to do, and he'll claim it as a victory because he forced the issue.

10. Trump wants money for his GD wall,plain and simple IMO.........

You watch...when Congress starts debating DACA and immigration security. Republicans will vote for DACA IF Trump gets BILLIONS for his stupid ass wall.

[Dave Starsky]

11. Absolutely. Without question.

He is holding these people hostage.

He is the lowest of the low, beneath the scum of the Earth. And our Congress, naturally, will fall right in line with him.

13. The wall will make or break his presidency

with his base. That's what they voted for. He's going to do any underhanded thing he has to to get funding. Aid for Harvey survivors? Add a rider in there.
