Trump to scrap protection for 'Dreamers,' give Congress six months to fix

If he wants to replace it, I'm curious as to what exactly will change. Like will there even be a point to getting rid of it in the first place?
 
Not really sure what this ruling accomplishes. Doesn't please his base. Doesn't please the rest of the country and just pushes this decision on Congress until an election year (not that Congress is a victim).

From purely an economic standpoint for older people on S.S. and Medicare they need younger workers to continue to pay into it for them to receive their benefits. This isn't going to help.
 
Allows the President to further scapegoat Congress for his shortcomings, blaming the media and Democrats has hit the point of diminishing returns. It is beginning to appear that very little of his promised agenda is going to become reality, so he is strategically playing a Pontus Pilate
 
Roughly two-thirds (66 percent) of Americans favor allowing immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children to gain legal resident status if they join the military or go to college, while nearly three in ten (29 percent) oppose such a policy.

Majorities of Democrats (73 percent), independents (69 percent), and Republicans (53 percent) favor granting legal residency to immigrants brought here illegally as children who serve in the military or attend college.

Such policies enjoy sweeping support among religious Americans. Most Catholics (70 percent), nonwhite Protestants (66 percent), and white mainline Protestants (62 percent) support allowing immigrants brought into the country illegally as children to gain legal resident status if they join the military or go to college. The religiously unaffiliated show the strongest support among religious groups for such legislation at 73 percent. White evangelical Protestants show the lowest support, although a majority (57 percent) favor such a policy.
