President Donald Trump created a crisis over the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program by rescinding the directive that protected from deportation thousands of undocumented immigrants brought here as children. Now he is holding them ransom, demanding that Congress give him $25 billion for border security, including his “beautiful” wall, in exchange for not rounding up "Dreamers" and sending them into exile.
