Proud for them.

Quote:
Minnesota is extending state-funded health insurance eligibility to participants in an Obama administration deportation reprieve program — amid intense uncertainty about that program's future.

This month, the state became the fourth nationally to open subsidized health coverage to recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, which offers temporary work permits and deportation stays to people brought to the United States illegally as children. On the campaign trail, President-elect Donald Trump said he would repeal the program, but he has since appeared to soften his stance.

Advocates say they've been lobbying the state Department of Human Services since well before the election to make about 6,000 DACA recipients eligible for MinnesotaCare if they meet income requirements.

"Immigration is complicated, and health care is complicated, so it's taken some time," said John Keller, executive director at the Immigrant Law Center, a St. Paul nonprofit that pushed for the change. "DACA has allowed young people to contribute at a higher level."

Meanwhile, DACA critics have argued that extending additional benefits to the program's recipients incentivizes illegal immigration. They say states and local governments are setting the stage for a showdown with the Trump administration, which takes over Friday.

This is good news, it will show that people have cemented their lives here and that there are lives potentially at risk. Although, it might also rile up the right wingers into proclaiming amnesty etc...

I cannot wait until Trump gets sworn in, to finally know what the plan is. I hope the wall gets built ASAP so that people become happy.

I highly doubt that building a wall will make anyone happy. The average Joe is still upset about Obama's executive orders and will push to get them eliminated.

Honestly all of Trump' supporters want the wall. Even if it is just a symbol they want it.


Also when I say that, I just want to see it fail and or not ever get implemented.


Either way

Hillary wanted the wall as well. She voted for it before.
