“We cannot accept all those who want to come here, it is very simple”, Justice Minister Jeff Sessions said, announcing this measure and condemning the unilateral decision made by Barack Obama in 2012.
“Starting today, no new request will be considered”, the services stressed. The fate of those who already benefit from this status, known as “Dreamers”, will not be affected until March 5, 2018.
Trump has not personally indicated this decision, expected to trigger a real political storm in Washington.
