Speaker 1: Well, the latest so called crisis in Washington centers around
Speaker 1: President Trump's decision to end DACA, the Deferred Action for
Speaker 1: Childhood Rivals program. It was put in place unconstitutionally by Obama.
Speaker 1: It gave blanket amnesty to illegal immigrants who came here
Speaker 1: as children. Candidate Trump campaigned on ending the program, but
Speaker 1: since his election, the establishment, Democrats and Republicans have mounted
Speaker 1: a huge campaign to pressure Trump to break that promise. Well, Tuesday,
Speaker 1: Trump ended the program, but provided a six month delay
Speaker 1: before it's officially shut down. That gives Congress plenty of
Speaker 1: time to pass legislation to give amnesty to these DACA
Speaker 1: kids who are here illegally if that's what Congress decides,
Speaker 1: which is leading up to an election year. The issue
Speaker 1: is not illegal one. This is purely emotion driven. Every
Speaker 1: legal expert worth is all degrees that Obama overstepped his
Speaker 1: authority when he granted amnesty via executive action. Immigration law,
Speaker 1: like all legislation, is supposed to be written by Congress,
Speaker 1: not a gray area. It's spelled out in the Constitution.
Speaker 1: But when Obama ignored the Constitution on this, Republicans offered
Speaker 1: little pushback other than lip service. So In the coming days,
Speaker 1: we'll see what the Republican Congress is made of. They
Speaker 1: could get rid of dhaka as promised, or they could
Speaker 1: grant amnesty, giving lip service to their promise like they
Speaker 1: did with their promise to repeal Obamacare. Just depends what
Speaker 1: the Chamber of Commerce wants
