Las Vegas casinos hit by President Trump’s DACA

Las Vegas casino giants MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment have called members of the Congress to immediately pass a law that will shield undocumented immigrants from possible deportation.

MGM and Caesars made the call just days after the Trump administration announced that it will rescind protections for young people brought to the US illegally as children.

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival program, or DACA, is a federal government program created in 2012 under Barack Obama to allow people brought to the US illegally as children the temporary right to live, study and work legally in America.

According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, both casino operators are bracing themselves of effect of Trump administration’s immigration policy, given that many of these immigrants brought to the United States are working in some of the state’s leading casinos.
