#Dreamers' Are Warned By Advocates To End Traveling out of U.S. Before #Trump Is Sworn In #EnatoBlogNews

Immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children, but were protected from deportation by President Barack Obama, are being warned by some advocates to make sure they are not traveling outside U.S. when Donald Trump is sworn in as president on January 20.

Some advocates, lawyers and universities are concerned that Trump might immediately rescind an Obama program that had allowed these young immigrants to work and travel for humanitarian, educational or employment purposes.

That could lead, they fear, to some people traveling abroad being barred from re-entering the U.S.

"We are recommending all travel be completed by or before January 20 in the event laws or procedures executive director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles. "We wouldn't want to expose them to an uncertain situation should they not be allowed back to the U.S.'


Trump made illegal immigration the cornerstone of his campaign, promising to build a wall along the Mexican border and deport millions of people living in the country illegally.

His actual plans, though, have yet to be revealed.
Recently, he has said he wants to focus on people who have committed crimes.

During a recent Time magazine interview, Trump expressed sympathy for the 741,000 people in Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which started in 2012.

"We're going to work something out that's going to make people happy and proud,"Trump said. "They got brought here at a very young age, they've worked here, they've gone to school here. Some were good students.
Some have wonderful jobs. And they're in never-never land because they don't know what's going to happen."

Advocates are still being cautious.
