Joe Biden has said the US Department of Justice intends on appealing a new court decision that effectively halts an Obama-era program aimed at protecting young immigrants from deportation.
Texas federal judge Andrew Hanen on Friday deemed illegal the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca) program. This program prevents the deportation of immigrants who were brought to the US unlawfully as children, known as “Dreamers”.

For people who are here unlawfully but who have prosspects for becoming productive citizens, I would think I'd be more profitable for the U.S. to allow them to stay and keep working for them, as opposed to simply sending them away.
Good. This'll give immigration and natrulization advocates time to regroup and make their case for why DACA helps immigrants, and also the U.S..
