Deporting DACA children a mistake and more letters to the editors

Deporting DACA children a mistake

President Trump’s decision to begin deporting illegal immigrant children within six month’s time is strictly a political ploy. He has wisely chosen to dump this ‘hot potato’ into the lap of Congress.

Congress is one of his most shrill critics. Therefore, Trump correctly chose to let Congress decide this issue.

If you read the gist of what the president said, he would let Congress pass a bill within six months or he would revisit the decision. Congress should express the will of the American people as they represent all Americans, as intended.

Deporting those children would be a colossal mistake. Any fair-minded individual would agree. Those children are part of the fabric of our lives as the tapestry of American society is woven together.
