Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance recently made comments suggesting that the Trump administration may consider deporting Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, commonly known as Dreamers. Vance emphasized the need to address the issue of illegal immigration, stating that with an estimated 25 million illegal aliens in the country, deportation is necessary to maintain border security.
During a press conference, Vance highlighted the importance of focusing on individuals who pose a significant threat, referring to them as 'the most hardened criminals.' However, he also expressed the view that individuals who have violated immigration laws, including those who entered the country illegally, should be subject to deportation.
Vance emphasized that deportation measures could be carried out with compassion and humanity. He suggested that while enforcing immigration laws, it is possible to approach the situation in a humane manner.
DACA recipients are individuals who were brought to the United States as children and are permitted to reside and work legally in the country for a temporary period under the DACA program. The Trump administration previously attempted to end the DACA program, a move that faced legal challenges and was ultimately blocked by the courts. Despite these legal setbacks, the issue remains subject to ongoing litigation.
