Will the US deport dreamers?

President Donald Trump has asked the US Congress to consider if migrants who are now adults, but entered the country illegally as children, should be allowed to stay.

Many of them are now in their 30's and the so called dreamers had been allowed to stay under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) programme, a decision by former Presdent Barack Obama that Mr Trump wants reviewed by the US Congress..

The US economist Irwin Stelzer told the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Mike Johnson the benefit of these young undocumented migrants outweighs the cost.
