Supreme Court Takes Up DACA Appeal
Should nearly a million young people, brought to the USA as children and educated here, be allowed to stay in the US, or deported to a country they don't know? That's an easy one for most of us to answer. Now, the question is: Will Obama's policy of letting them stay, or will Trump's policy of deporting them pass muster with the SCOTUS? I know what I hope will happen, but will it? What do you think?
The fates of almost 1 million people brought to the country illegally as children, known as DREAMers, are now in the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court.
The court granted an appeal to the Trump administration's decision to end the DACA program, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
While public approval for DREAMers is high — around 80% in most public opinion polls — the issues in the case are tricky. Were the administration willing to concede that President Barack Obama acted legally in enacting the program, the Trump administration could rescind the program as long as it provided a good reason and followed the rules for such a policy reversal.
