‘Get ready to do your job’ on immigration, Trump tells Congress

The Boston Globe reports:

President Donald Trump suggested Tuesday it was up to Congress to ultimately decide the fate of hundreds of thousands of young immigrants brought into the country illegally as children, tweeting: ‘‘Congress, get ready to do your job - DACA!’’

Trump was referring to former President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA program, which has provided nearly 800,000 young immigrants a reprieve from deportation and the ability to work legally in the U.S.


The Trump administration was expected to announce termination of the program — but only after giving Congress six months to come up with a legislative solution to protect the immigrants, sometimes known as ‘‘dreamers.’’

‘‘Make no mistake, we are going to put the interest of AMERICAN CITIZENS FIRST!’’ Trump added in a second, retweeted message. ‘‘The forgotten men & women will no longer be forgotten.’’

The DREAMERS in the news.
