Donald Trump "wasn't aware what scrapping DACA would mean" before deciding fate of 800,000 immigrants.

Yesterday, President Donald Trump repealed an amnesty program that protected from deportation of 800,000 people brought to the United States illegally as minors. Hours after, concerns have been raised that Trump did not fully understand the implication of ending the policy.
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is an American immigration policy founded by the Obama administration in June 2012. It allows certain illegal immigrants who entered the country as minors, to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and eligibility for a work permit.

However, Trump’s attorney general Jeff Sessions said the program was unconstitutional and "denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of Americans by allowing those same illegal aliens to take those jobs." Therefore, it is being rescinded. 

Now, White House officials have raised concerns that Donald Trump didn’t completely grasp the implications of ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program before he made a decision about its future. According to New York Times, administration officials privately fretted that Trump may have not understood exactly what effects rescinding DACA could have.

The move by Trump has incensed a lot of people and left affected immigrants feeling vulnerable. Protesters have taken to the White House to protest since the announcement was made..

20-year-old Flor Reyes-Silvestre, an undocumented Mexican immigrant who came to the US at age 2 and is currently pursuing her political science degree, is one of those affected by the recent development. She spoke to Al Jazeera, expressing her disappointment.
She said: "The reality hits you hard when you realise you might not be able to work any more. I was thinking about law school, grad school. Now it doesn't seem plausible to work as a lawyer or get a job at a law firm."
Mr Sessions indicated that the program would be phased out and that new applications from people hoping to become DACA recipients would not be taken going forward. The Trump administration added no current beneficiaries of the program would be affected before March 5.
It is now up to Congress to determine a legislative future for the program. However, late on Tuesday, Trump tweeted that he would "revisit this issue" if Congress fails to "legalise DACA" within six months.
