No More DACA Deal? TN For Mexico in Crisis!

President Trump tweeted: “NO MORE DACA DEAL!” and threatened to terminate NAFTA with Mexico if it doesn't stop people from flowing through Mexico's Southern Border and then into U.S.

It is unclear if the tweet represents a change on DACA which he already rescinded. DACA is partially continued through court action.

Under NAFTA, eligible Mexican and Canadian citizens may apply for TN classification to perform professional business/work activities in the U.S. Unlike H-1B Cap Petition, TN is not subject to an annual visa cap.
