Donald Trump’s decision is wrong, self-defeating − deportation of 'Dreamers' would deprive the economy of $460 billion over 10 years, according to an analysis − and cruel.
This meeting of the minds is a sign that Trump quickly regretted having repealed, just 10 days ago, the decree by which former President Barack Obama made these “Dreamers” immune from deportation and allowed them to live, work and study legally in the United States.
Democrats have more to gain than lose with the “dreamers,” who, for the nightmare called Donald Trump, are more of an electoral bargaining chip than potential undocumented immigrants.
Stupid and ideological, Trump’s decision to hang the sword of Damocles over the heads of 800,000 immigrants is spreading distress, damaging the American economy, and presenting the risk of a serious migration crisis.
It is worth reflecting on what is happening in a society that makes a priority of deporting some of the most brilliant minds and most qualified members of the workforce.
