Trouble For The Dreamers?

Here's Digby at Hullabaloo:

Established in 2012 under an executive action by President Barack Obama administration, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals [DACA] program has given temporary deportation relief to young people brought to the U.S. illegally as children. Nearly a third of the 742,000 so-called Dreamers live in California.

According to Digby, Trump's anti-immigrant team is ramping up:

In a letter sent to each of its 23 campuses, the California State University’s Office of the Chancellor has advised administrators to tell DACA recipients currently studying abroad to return to the U.S. before the new president’s inauguration. “It is highly likely that as of Jan. 20, DACA students who are abroad will not be allowed to re-enter the U.S,” the letter said.

Further, Digby says:

It's heartbreaking to think about what's going to happen to these kids if Trump carries out his plans. They took the brave step of registering with the government under the assumption they would be spared deportation and now they are likely going to pay.
