     Our President Donald Trump has made the decision to end the DACA program that let undocumented children that came to the USA through deportation stay here with no problems. Many people are furious about the bold move made by our president, but his intentions might not be all bad. The reason that he said he ended the DACA program was because it was against the Constitution for former President Obama to put it into law without it going through Congress first. Donald Trump now said that it is time for Congress to do their job and to take care of the DACA program whether they decide to save it or get rid of it completely. This is related to what we are learning in class right now because it is showing how our government has to make decisions with our laws. Also, it shows that the Constitution tells the government what powers they have so this is why President Trump believes that President Obama went against the Constitution. The branch of government that makes the laws is the Legislative Branch, which is Congress. The president is part of the Executive Branch, which interprets the laws, they do not make them. Therefore, it was wrong for Obama to put DACA into law without the agreement of Congress, even though it might have been in good intentions. We will now see within the next six months what Congress decides to do with the DACA program and what happens to the hundreds of thousands of undocumented children that were given their opportunities in life through the DACA program.
