Trump Claims He Has Love For DACA Recipients After Ending The Program
Source: Talking Points Memo 4:43pm ET
President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed he has a great love for undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children, despite having just ended the program that granted them legal protection.
I have a great heart for these folks were talking about, a great love for them, Trump said during a photo opportunity with members of Congress and his administration, referring to those protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which he terminated on Tuesday.
He said people think in terms of children when they think of DACA recipients but theyre really young adults.
I have a love for these people, and hopefully now Congress will be able to help them and do it properly, Trump said. Really we have no choice. We have to be able to do something, and I think its going to work out very well. And longterm its going to be the right solution.

(3,847 posts)He continues to rip protections away from working class people and those barely making it, then gives this BS line of how much he loves them. Well since he is incapable of compassion or kindness we all know he is full of shit.
