Memos released Tuesday by the Department of Homeland Security implement executive orders signed by President Donald Trump, one of which calls for the immediate construction of a wall along the Mexican border.
The two memos, which were signed Monday, are related to Trump’s two orders on internal immigration procedures and border security.
One of the memos calls for the immediate construction of a wall along the Mexican border.
The other memo declares that President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty program, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), is not to be affected by Trump’s executive orders.
The memo on internal enforcement specifically states that the one active executive amnesty program implemented under President Obama, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), is not affected by President Trump’s executive order.
On the campaign trail President Trump pledged to get rid of President Obama’s amnesty for illegal immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children, however, he has yet to fulfill this goal.
“DACA is a very, very difficult subject for me,” the president said during a press conference last week. He added, “It’s one of the most difficult subjects I have because you have these incredible kids.”
