Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine on Sunday said President Donald Trump continuing to blame Democrats for the lack of permanent protections for young undocumented immigrants is a break with reality.
“He is either lying or he is completely delusional,” Kaine said. Trump said Democrats were responsible for there being no permanent fix on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, claiming, “The Democrats fought us, they just fought every single inch of the way. They did not want DACA in this bill.”
Kaine noted that then-President Barack Obama established the program, and that it is Trump who moved to end it.
“One person can save DACA,” Kaine said. “If President Trump believes in DACA, all he has to do is retract his executive order from September where he broke a promise to Dreamers and said he was going to end the program.”
