He said: “I am here today to announce that the program known as DACA that was effectuated under the Obama Administration is being rescinded,”
Sessions argued the amnesty put in place by former president Barack Obama was unconstitutional and “denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of Americans by allowing those same illegal aliens to take those jobs.”
