President Trump on Friday accused Democrats of using recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program for their own political purposes, and said Democrats rejected a deal that would keep people under DACA protected from deportation.

“I do want the Hispanic community to know and DACA recipients to know that Republicans are much more on your side than the Democrats, who are using you for their own purposes,” Trump said at the White House.
