Hey, Dreamers! Calm down. No one is kicking you out of the country! All President Trump is doing is stopping the program and passing it on to Congress to see if it can pass muster legally as opposed to King Obama’s unconstitutional executive order. So what’s wrong with that? Nothing at all that I can see.
