Supreme Court to Decide Fate of Dreamers on DACA Program (0:30) Guest: RonNell Andersen Jones, Lee E. Teitelbaum Endowed Professor of Law, SJ Quinney College of Law, University of Utah The US Supreme Court this week will hear arguments in a case that will decide the fate of nearly a million people known as “Dreamers” who were brought to the country illegally or overstayed a visa as children. When Congress failed to pass a law allowing Dreamers to live and work legally in the US, the Obama Administration implemented a fix called “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” or DACA. The Trump Administration wants to end the program. The Supreme Court will decide if that’s legal.

Why can’t they just turn in that homework assignment or not have a meltdown when they don’t get what they want? Developmental and behavioral pediatrician Damon Korb says it’s because their brain isn’t organized –they can’t think in an orderly way.
