The DACA issue has immense consequences for so many people here. [View all]

I have worked with families where one or both parents were brought to this country by THEIR parents when they were very little and are undocumented. They have no life in Mexico - no home, no family, no work - the U.S. is the only home they've ever known. Plus, their children are American citizens. If forced back to Mexico, since their children are not Mexican citizens, their education will not be provided by the Mexican government.

What a mess. What a heartless bastard we have in the Oval Office.
