Former President Barack Obama initiated the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program assistance to an illegal immigrant in 2012. Of course, the decision of the current President on the abolition of DACA did not leave him indifferent. Obama called the move «cruel» and «doomed to failure».
In his statement, Obama emphasized that «the measure adopted today does not need the legal aspects. This is a political decision and a moral issue.» The former President explained why his opinion does not coincide with the point of view of the tramp: «no matter What problems or complaints on the part of Americans against immigration in General, we should not endanger the future of this group of young people that are not their fault, who do not pose a threat, which is nothing other don’t take».
Attorney General Jeff Sessions accused Obama of exceeding his constitutional authority, pushing the order 5 years ago. The former President retorted the attorney General, saying that his decision «based on well-established legal principle». He drew attention to the fact that the resources of immigration services it is better to focus on those who illegally comes to America to harm the citizens and the country as a whole.
We will remind that today during a protest against the abolition of DACA, the new York city police arrested 12 demonstrators.
