Donald Trump may have fired up rhetoric about all of the "bad" political decisions being made by the Democrats, but he rarely spoke up about his actual plan as the future president of the U.S. The businessman released his pledge to the American people yesterday and outlined his priorities once he enters the White House. Here are all of the things we risk to lose from Trump's 100-day plan.

Allowing DREAMers to be eligible for deportation.
Trump wants to "cancel every unconstitutional executive action" issued by President Obama. That includes DACA, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which grants protection to the children of undocumented immigrants. Millions will lose their protection status and run the risk of deportation.
Cut federal funding for sanctuary cities that protect undocumented immigrants.
These cities, which have policies protecting undocumented immigrants, include, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami and Texas. Under Trump's presidency, that protection will be gone.
Repeal Obamacare, leaving a reported 20 million people without medical insurance.
In his plan, he's very clear about getting rid of Obamacare and replacing it with a Health Savings Account. His replacement plan is very vague.
He wants to renegotiate NAFTA.
The North American Free Trade Agreement, which was signed into law by Bill Clinton in 1993, greatly impacts jobs and businesses in the U.S., Mexico and Canada. Trump wants to renegotiate or "withdraw from the deal" completely, which will hurt economic growth and greatly impact farmers.
Getting rid of Common Core learning standards placed in schools.
In his 100-day plan, part of Trump's education policy is to end Common Core completely and bring "education supervision to local communities."
Doing so would shake up learning standards for our children across the board. However, he doesn't have much power to end Common Core since Congress and the President didn't sign off on it and instead was voted on at a state to state level.
Cutting billions from the U.N's climate change programs.
Trump has openly said that climate change is a "hoax." Part of his plan is to totally cut resources to environmental programs fighting against global warming and "use the money to fix America's water and environmental infrastructure."
Signing a bill to defund Planned Parenthood if it continues doing abortions.
Instead, he wants to fund health centers that do not conduct abortions. Doing so will leave women with little resources to make this major decision with their bodies.
Ending the Illegal Immigration Act.
Remember that giant wall Trump kept talking about in his speeches? He means it. In his plan, Trump writes that he wants the U.S. to fund the wall running across the border of Mexico. "The country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall," he writes.
This will clearly cause tension with Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto, who has previously noted that his country will not be paying for the wall.
