If POTUS simply terminated DACA immediately with no delay, there would be no shutdown

Or if the Senate would just change the filibuster rule.

Courts would block his EO to do this before his ink from that monster pen had dried.

He's trying to get C-O-N-G-R-E-S-S to fix the damn problem with a change in the law. An executive order can simply be undone by another administration.


Laws should be made by Congress, not POTUS.

Cool, except that executive orders also have the force of law too.

One can simply be undone by another EO, one cannot. C'mon Sent, you're smarter than this. He's got those slithery bastards over a cliff by using their own arrogance and stupidity. You don't give up the only biggest leverage you have by undermining it with your own actions while at the same time making yourself out to be the bad guy at the same time.

Trump caves on DACA and he loses his base, he stands firm and he a racist bastard that hates minorities.

He does just what he did and he lets the problem lie where it's lied the entire damn time and where it should lie. One the floors of Congress. Dems have tied their wagon to 8 million people while seemingly throwing the rest of the country under the bus.

It's a no win for Dems if Trump can just get the GOP cucks in Congress to stand tall and hold the line.

As far as CR's go, frick CR's. You have a budget, I have a budget and our government should have a damn budget.

The SCOTUS is hold America hostage

Of if Democrats weren't evil trolls

He rescinded it effective in March. If the Democrats want to save the sainted DACA babies, well. They could pass a fricking law that includes a wall and eliminates chain migration so no poor souls ever end up in this situation again.

DACA is gone. The democrats can temper tantrum all they want. It ain’t coming back unless and until there’s a law.

Uh. No they don’t. The most they can do is say this is how the president interprets a law that congress passed.

It cannot extend new rights or Levy new responsibilities.

It can be overturned with the stroke of a pen.

I don’t think “force of law” means what you think it means.

They can't and they don't want to anyway.

What they can do is hold the government and the legislative agenda hostage and use it as leverage in CR and spending fights and that's what they're doing now.

You people still don't get it.

DACA should never ever come back in any way shape or form either by EO or law and it's a big mistake on Trump's part to be open to codifying DACA into law when he has a GOP congress that can pass border security and no amnesty.
