Former president Barack Obama Says the Trump Administrations decision is cruel and selfdefeating saying, whatever concerns or complaints americans may have about immigration in general, we shouldnt threaten the future of this group of young people who are here through no fault of their own, who pose no threat, who are not taking away anything from the rest of us. Mr. Obama urged congress to pass a bill fixing the situation with, quote, a sense of moral urgency. As we said, demonstrations are being held all over the country including here in the bay area, specifically in berkeley and San Francisco. Paul chambers is live in the city with how dreamers are reacting. Paul. Reporter frank, this is the second showing and outing of this group. They had a press conference earlier. Now, there are hundreds of people demonstrating against they say not only the reversal on daca but they want to support the 11 million undocumented people who have no pathway to citizenship.

Reporter she said the president rescinded the daca program which was a policy that former president barack obama created through an executive order. Trump is taking that victory from us, um, but i think its again it needs to be a moment for all of to us unite, um, rather than, um, become pessimistic, step up and fight even harder and make sure that we dont become divided. Reporter the policy protected hundreds of thousands of young undocumented people who came to the u. S. Before 2007. The end of the program is just the beginning of a new battle for this woman and nearly a million others. It is angering that we have done a lot of work to put things like daca in place and now that work is being taken from us. [ chanting ] reporter now, its time to fight and Work Together and be united and not be divided, they say. Frank . Paul, what are the plans for the protest and are there any concerns that the protest wont stay peaceful . [ chanting ] reporter as of now they plan to have quite a few speakers out here. To let people know theyre upset there are police on both sides around here so it is very well protected and Law Enforcement do have an eye on it. But right now, they are giving people an opportunity to talk about their disapproval and upset about what happened early today with daca and reversal by the president. So far its been peaceful, people emotional having signs and letting people know how they feel about the decision. Paul chambers in San Francisco tonight, paul, thank you. Apples ceo tim cook to tweeted his support of the dreamers yesterday sent a memo today to apple employees. Obtained by ktvu, it says, i am deeply dismayed that 800,000 americans including more than 250 of our apple coworkers may soon find themselves cast out of the only country they have ever called home. The statement continues, we issue an urgent plea for our leaders in washington to protect the dreamers and despite this setback for our nation, im confident that American Values will prevail. U. S. Senator Kamala Harris of california reacted by calling on republicans in congress to bring the dream act to a vote. She said, quote, the consequences of this decision will be devastating. It will split up families, force young people back to countries they never knew, and cost our economy billions of dollars. It is heartless. President trump is giving congress six months to address daca and come up with a legislative solution. On the four on 2 david levine said, dont expect congress to work out a solution for the dreamers. These are people who have done the right thing, they didnt come here of their own volition. They are in school. They are working. The criminal rate is so low with them. So if you could stay with just that you actually probably could get bipartisan support. The problem is, is that it will be very tempting to load up other things. Lets say the price for keeping daca was the border wall. That means youre going to lose all the democrats. Since the president took office, the Republican Controlled Congress has been unable to pass any major legislation including a bill to repeal obamacare and thats why professor levine thinks the president here is just setting up congress to take the blame for undoing daca. Notice, he didnt get out there in front. He made attorney general sessions get out there. Is mr. Trump so shy of cameras that he couldnt get out there and defend his own program . He is setting it up for failure after failure. Its not his problem. On the campaign trail, President Trump assured dreamers they could rest easy but in a Statement Today the president blamed former president obama for violating the constitution when he issued an executive order to protect the dreamers from being deported. The loss of nearly 800,000 young immigrant workers is expected to cost the nation hundreds of billions of dollars. And it would have a big impact on californias economy. Ktvus Cristina Rendon joins us now from our newsroom with a look at daca numbers in our state. Reporter california leads the nation in Daca Recipients. Our state is home to one in every four dreamers who are either in school or have a job. In fact, 91 of daca participants are employed and thats a boost to our economy. According to a recent study by the center for American Progress, the u. S. Gross domestic product is expected to lose 450 billion over the next decade if Daca Recipients are removed from the workforce. California would lose more than 11 billion annually. This state is home to 223,000 Daca Recipients making up roughly 30 of all Daca Recipients in the u. S. Followed by texas, new york, illinois and florida. Bay area congressman ro khanna says he is disappointed in the decision. These are young men and women who grew up in the United States, who went to school in the United States, were working or contributing to the economy. Its not just morally wrong. Its also going to hurt us economically. The study by the center for American Progress also says dreamers have launched their own businesses. More than half have purchased a car. And one in ten has bought a home. Today the California Attorney general Xavier Becerra announced plans to sue the Trump Administration over ending daca and more than 30 california lawmakers are vowing to pass bills to help Daca Recipients including legislation that would limit Immigration Enforcement on college campuses.

We have actually had to hold our deploying volunteers from the western states and california due to wildfire concerns. But with the massive response on harvey and now this massive second Hurricane Irma, you know, we really want to be ready to respond there. Reporter so armed with food and portable shelters, these volunteers drove off to florida not knowing whats ahead. Its anxious because you dont know what to find there. Youre dying to get out there and help because now how to do that. But you still dont know what youre going to see. Its different every time. Reporter their deployments are expected to last a minimum two weeks and the red cross says it is preparing to fly other volunteers out later this week. Back to you. All right, Maureen Naylor in the south bay, thank you. For more on this, we go to our chief meteorologist bill martin in the weather center. So the Hurricane Center is saying today that irma could be the strongest hurricane recorded in the atlantic ocean. Its like a tornado. That will essentially blow a house over. Oh, yeah. We have been watching the forecast indicators. The models are indicating pretty much a you know, a directs hit on florida. Now, its a long way off. Its got a lot of ground to cover. It could weaken as it moves over some of these islands, which is, you know, kind of scary in itself that its going to mow over some islands. But this is the Spaghetti Models and its a bunch of models trying to come to a consensus but what i always do, right, you just find thats how you find consensus. You go right down the middle and thats where it is. So right on the tip of florida. So thats the forecast. Those are the solutions. None of the Solutions Bring it into here, which is good. At one point there was a potential yesterday that this could it still could if it got off into the gulf. But right now, we are looking right in this area. Its a big storm. And its going to cause big trouble. It wont be towards it will be out towards the weekend.

We got rid of the smoke but the humidity is lingering. 91 in fairfield. 90 livermore. Its a little warmer in concord today. So three degrees warmer. 5 degrees warmer there. So the temperatures came up a little today. But again, nothing like the stifling heat that we had. Lets get some days on this hurricane. And one of the models, the main model right now that were following has a category 4, downgrades it into southwestern florida somewhere around sunday. So well watch that for you, see how that tracks. Theres going to be a lot of changes between now and then. We just know its out there now. And now its going to have impact. If you have flights going to the east coast, southeast coast certainly, but anywhere on the east coast because chicago and dallas will have hub delays, check ahead. Get your ducks in order. Late this week, into the weekend, into early next week, this will be a three or four day kind of thing for travelers. Theres the fog forecast for the morning. So the fog is back. That kind of trends temperatures off a little bit. So tomorrows forecast highs, 90s take a push back towards the east and we start to see a little bit more mild weather, no spare the air day. No heat advisories. Fire danger of course is high. And, of course, irma the big story right now in the weather center. So theres tomorrows forecast for you.
