Summary:
David Nakamura, a reporter who covers the White House, posted this article today on The Washington Post with the contributions of Ed O'Keefe, Maria Sacchetti, Sean Sullivan and David Weigel, informing that President Trump is preparing to eliminate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, a program that has helped over a thousand immigrants recieve jobs and shelter without fear of being deported. However, it is unclear whether or not he would end the program after a six month delay.

Analysis:
With the current social issues related to Trump and his infamous idea of deportating illegal immigrants, this decision will most likely raise a high amount of outrage from the public, as suggested by the image of DACA supporters at a rally Nakamura pasted along with this passage, in addition to his inability to balance a stable funding for the border wall and his refusal to legalize the dreamers in exchange of money.  Although Trump is possibly trying his best to handle this issue by enforcing this and asking Congress to find a solution, it will open up a possibility of an economic crisis.
