President Trump recently had a meeting with lawmakers about immigration policy. Two topics were the main focus that brought this group together.
DACA and the border wall were the issues at hand. After the discussion, Trump seemingly assured lawmakers that he would support the Dreamers so he could have his wall.
Everyone didn’t support the decision Trump had made. It was believed that many conservatives would be appalled by such a stance.
Even with the meeting taking place, a Judge had blocked Trump from deporting those benefiting from DACA.
Most Dreamers could spend at least 2 more years without worry. Those who had less time could apply for the additional two years.
Disgust
Some who supported Trump were disgusted at any deal to continue DACA. One such person was former Republican Senator Rick Santorum. He said “I don’t support doing DACA, period.”
“If we don’t have some sort of enforcement at the borders, some sort of laws in place to make sure that we aren’t going to have this immigration problem again, then there’s no point in creating any kind of amnesty or any kind of relief for people who are here now,” Santorum continued.
This topic had been emotional from the get go. Many people would be separated from loved ones in America. Many relationships formed could suffer as well.
“But, as you heard from the President, he’s flexible that the wall can be, yes, some wall and some other things that are included in addition to the wall,” Santorum said.
