There are multiple voices raising concern about President Trump not taking immediate Executive Action to reverse former President Obama’s DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program. To those voices this message is intended.

Now is not the time to address DACA. The UniParty and the UniParty friendly media are trying to bait President Trump into jumping into a politically charged issue they will use to slow, if not destroy, the larger agenda.
There are two Obama executive action constructs, DACA and DAPA.
♦ Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), also known as “The Dreamers” executive order which has been implemented and carried out deferring immigration enforcement for the children of illegal aliens.
♦ Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA), was the executive action found unconstitutional by Judge Hanen (Texas), blocked by injunction, and subsequently the injunction was argued through the appellate court all the way to SCOTUS – and upheld.
The Department of Homeland Security reluctantly halted DAPA implementation after they were defeated in the court system. However, DACA, the deferred action for “dreamers” has been ongoing. It is the DACA program that contains the largest political issue.

Trump supporters want to see the DACA executive order overturned, and it is not my intention to dispute the argument it should be because I too agree it should be overturned. However, now is not the time….
Former President Obama was asked, repeatedly, what would draw him back into the political equation to become an activist against the Trump policy and agenda implementation. At each response he continually cited DACA as the key issue which would bring him back to DC in opposition. Not Obamacare being repealed, but DACA.
Nothing would unite the various far-left activist groups more quickly than for President Trump to immediately reverse the DACA executive order. This is where prudent thought needs to be applied, and as annoying as it is – politics need to be considered.
If Trump were to take action now to remove DACA, not only would it provide the fuel to energize the opposition to his administration, he would also find few defenders within the Republican congress for immediacy in action.
Nothing would please Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi more than to have the issues around the immigration gang-of-eight bill hijack the current approach of the Trump agenda. Schumer, Pelosi and crew would enjoy nothing more than pulling out the racist, nativist, bigot cards and the media would like nothing more than to showcase them.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions as a nominee would be bombarded by questions about DACA and beaten up with any political nuance or misstep created by a blood-lusting anti-Trump media, while immigration activist groups were simultaneously engaged by all the coverage therein. Marches would begin immediately. Every talking point by Senator Corey Booker would be front and center.
The Democrat machine would be canonizing anyone who rose in opposition to the Trump administration based on DACA concerns. Halos handed out to Booker, Keith Ellison, Tom Perez et al. Do you really want to give the Democrats a tool to unite their fractured clans?
Additionally, all of Trump’s GOPe detractors would be empowered to act against him through various constructs of non support. Microphones and cameras would immediately be shoved into the face of Marco Rubio, Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Kevin McCarthy and Paul Ryan.
Have we forgotten that amnesty, the gang-of-eight bill, was only 48 hours from passage IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES when Eric Cantor was primaried in 2014? Even the current OMB Director nominee Rep Mick “cantalopes” Mulvaney was in support of the Go8 bill.
The scope of the political use of DACA as a weaponized narrative to undermine President Trump would be as immediate as CNN, MSNBC, FOX and the alphabets fully engaged, and Wall Street financed, gaslighting. All of it fueled by a useful narrative to destroy the Trump agenda.
DHS Secretary nominee Kelly would need patriot missile batteries outside his office and house to stave off the incoming MSM scud missile launches. The 24/7 coverage of President Obama dropping his vacation plans to rush to Washington DC would play out over screens like the white Bronco carrying OJ Simpson. David Brock would be hiring up staffs of hundreds as Hollywood poured millions into Democrat coffers to fuel a narrative and organize the takeover of urban city halls.
Mexico would be empowered with “hateful Trump” leverage in any NAFTA discussion. The southern border and protective wall?… would be more fuel in a created narrative of Trump dragging babies out of their crying mothers arms to throw them over the Rio Grande.
No, this is not winning. This is the opposite of winning. This is giving your enemy exactly what they need to create a hateful optic and a spin a usefully false narrative to diminish President Trump.
This predictable outcome is exactly why the MSM is trying to provoke President Trump and his spokespeople and representatives into the DACA conversation/debate right now.
The GOPe wing of the UniParty would also benefit from this. Heck, every oppositional entity within the swamp, who view Trump as a threat to their preferred status-quo, would work on this effort.
Think prudently. Remember, cold anger does not act to spite itself. Be politically wise and understand the larger goals.
Yes, DACA will be removed – in a logical, methodical, prudent and sequential time frame. Know and understand the enemy.
Now is not the time to act on this issue.
Think carefully.
Trust our elected leadership.
It doesn’t take a cabinet to sign paper. You just need a pen
What he should be able to do is rescind the stand-down order he gave the Border Patrol and ICE Agents.
Nope. End them now.
The fact that this article was written proves that President Trump’s people are hearing this conversation as well- they can hear that his supporters are getting restless regarding this topic of knocking the illegals out of the park. Let’s get those heads spinning and those bad hombres back where they belong which is “not here.”
I’m not panicking yet. I’ll give him another 10-12 days to get Obama’s executive orders revoked. If he hasn’t moved by then, the restlessness will turn to a roaring cacophony.
We need to build th wall first! Do not listen to that twirp, Marc Levin!
So. where’s the Wall? It’s a VERY BIG border.....
>What he should be able to do is rescind the stand-down order he gave the Border Patrol and ICE Agents.
Already done. Just not announced. I’ve seen report after report of ICE and INS running doing their job.
Bullcrap. That executive order needs to be immediately rescinded. There is not a salvageable thing in it.
NO WAITING!
Sweet! Thank you for that update.
My wife and both worked for Trump and were delegates for him.
He has so many things he will do that he promised, its going to take 100 days to do.
I am more concerned about Kate’s law, Sanctuary cities funds denied them, empty the jails of illegals, ending food stamps for illegals, ending welfare and UE benefits for illegals.
Sure I am upset that our states give illegals in state tuition in some states yet real Americans don’t get this advantage. Screwy, I can’t understand why its so.
Trump is working 12 hour days, gets 3 hours sleep a night and takes $1 per year salary. Give him a chance, a honeymoon at least from us conservatives.
>NO WAITING!
That’s the kind of statement I expected from a 5 year old. Trump has a whole federal Bureaucracy, a disloyal GOP congress, and the entire media trying to stop him. Give him the support he needs to get going instead of demanding instant gratification.
His pace has been stellar so far.
There are two ways to go forward:
1) Alinsky-inspired overload. Dump everything all at once. If you recall, when Obama had the Fast and Furious scandal come to light, he dumped a bunch of scandals out there, in order to overload the system and cause it to come to a grindingly slow pace. One of the scandals was the IRS targeting conservative groups, I forget the other three or four. This worked for Obama, and could for Trump... only instead of scandals, it would be initiatives.
So if Trump was to follow suit, he’d do major actions on EVERYTHING, DACA and DAPA included. It would be a workable technique.
The other way:
2) Go a little slower and cement your wins. There are factors to recommend this method as well, but the vulnerability is that the Ministry of Propaganda Media has the time to digest and pick things apart.
See my post right after yours. There are factors to recommend either approach.
“because I too agree it should be overturned. However, now is not the time….”
I’ve heard that way too many times. In Newspeak that means NEVER will the time be right.
Do children of illegal aliens that are born in the US have dual citizenship?
