Key White House figures divided over whether to overturn former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy, according to Reuters.

President Trump’s advisers are split on the policy, which protects children who came to the U.S. illegally, known as “dreamers.”

The split is between Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller, who both have a more conservative stance on immigration, and White House chief of staff Reince Priebus, according to the report. Bannon is Trump’s chief strategist, while Miller serves as his policy adviser.
Trump has signaled he may not overturn DACA, telling ABC News in an interview this week that dreamers “shouldn’t be very worried” and that a policy addressing the issue would come soon.
“They shouldn't be very worried. They are here illegally. They shouldn't be very worried. I do have a big heart. We're going to take care of everybody,” he said in the interview.

“Where you have great people that are here that have done a good job, they should be far less worried. We'll be coming out with policy on that over the next period of four weeks,” he added.

Trump on Wednesday signed two executive orders on immigration. One called for the construction of wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. The other order terminated the “catch and release” policy, which sent people who crossed the border back to Mexico instead of arresting them.

It's funny cuz many of those commenters are probably the ones "mooching" off government services. Rather than place blame where it ought to lie (Republican officials cutting budgets and access to those services), they'd rather blame us.

Exactly. I'm hopeful that these are just vocal minorities though. It is scary to think most right winger think like this

Yup, we're paying federal income tax, social security, medicare, and we're not collecting on any of it. I'm doing my taxes soon, and last year I had to shell out: $5000 federal, $3000 SS, and $800 for medicare.

For federal income tax I get to use highways, national security, etc. But for SS and medicare... who's to say that I'll see a dime of that money?

I also paid around 25k in taxes every year.
