American leader Donald Trump has promised to sign a document on actions in the field of immigration in the near future.
“In the very near future, I will sign a new document on actions in the field of immigration, very big actions based on benefit. I will be able to do this based on the decision on DACA (a program that protects against deportation of about 700-800 thousand illegal immigrants)”, – said Trump.
The U.S. president made this statement to journalists without giving details.
The DACA program, launched by the previous Barack Obama administration, allows this category of immigrants to receive protection from deportation and temporarily live and work in the U.S., but does not give them the right to permanent legal residence or citizenship.
The Trump administration is working to repeal the program and proposes a broad reform of immigration that will fundamentally change its principles and prioritize those who are useful or necessary to the country, rather than the relatives of existing immigrants as they are now. However, the Democrats in Congress did not intend to consider such a reform.
