You might have heard about the “Dreamers,” young people with no legal immigrant status who, because of an executive order issued by President Obama, were allowed to come out of the shadows and join the student population and workforce in the United States. However, their dream may soon turn into a nightmare.

By now it’s clear that Donald Trump has been among the most divisive figures in the history of the Republican Party. Critics cite his cultural insensitivities and ideological inconsistencies as clear evidence of his inability to lead.
