[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump did the right thing.

Obama over-reached and possibly acted illegally. Just because Congress does not act does not mean that the president can act on his own and Obama knew this because he said on multiple occasions that he did not have the authority to act without congressional action when it comes to illegals.

It is for Congress to act in the next six months and thereafter unless Trump or any other president can find a LEGAL remedy to deal with "dreamers" their status would be in limbo and potentially they would be subject to deportation as are the other 11 million illegals.

FWIW, I support congressional action to give the dreamers legal status but I don't support any president unilaterally doing so.

What would have happened if the courts had ruled DACA to be unconstitutional? The dreamers would be in the same position that they were before Obama's DACA order.

The real problem is when presidents issue EOs that have dubious legal standing.[/quote]

Exactly.

And, remember that the first word in “DACA” is “Deferred.”  This was never a permanent solution.  It needs to become codified.  The president cannot do that without Congress. 
I agree, this was the correct decision by Trump.  [/quote]
