House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Monday blasted President Trump's expected decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, calling it a "cruel act of political cowardice."
The Democratic leader said the decision, which Trump is expected to formally announce Tuesday, "should break the hearts and offend the morals of all who believe in justice and human dignity."
"This cruel act of political cowardice deals a stunning blow to the bright young DREAMers and to everyone who cherishes the American Dream," Pelosi said in a statement, using a term commonly used to refer to DACA recipients.
Politico reported on Sunday that Trump plans to end DACA with a six-month delay for Congress to find a legislative fix.

(36,469 posts)Pelosi is of the opinion the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is spot on and should stand as it is written. Pelosi, and the Democrats know it doesn't need any tweaking.

(6,017 posts)And that's why her statement will not even work it's way into their heads. I really wish Pelosi would've used her position and platform to call it a "cruel act of bigotry against people of color". Instead she's taking a far more passive route that will likely not get the attention of centrists or people on the left, either.
Imagine if the Dems actually took that route and stopped being so overly polite. They could garner the 77% of American votes that aren't placed by Trump-nazis.
Please, Democrats in Congress: Go on the offensive for once. The nation needs you.

Trump, Sessions and associates will keep it up, looking for every excuse and loophole to deny entry to the US or to deport minority people from the US. Don't be surprised to see concentration camps going up next. The White Nationalists, Alt-right and Neo-Nazis now own the Republican party.
