Enforce existing law. DACA is not a law, it is not an Executive Order, it’s an “Executive Action” - which is Obama’s decree. He said it himself, “if Congress won’t act I will”. The dictator is out yet his edict remains. Trump is breaking a major major campaign promise.
What would you do? Trump repeals this program AT THIS POINT, and what does he give up in exchange?
1: Deporting felons.
2: Deporting ‘refugees.’
3: Chunks of ICE dedicated to border security in order to go after them.
4: Support from squishy Rs in Congress, which costs us:
4a: Obamacare repeal.
4b: Tax reform.
4c: Supreme Court nominees.
4d: Lower court nominees.
The President can’t break the laws of thermodynamics; he has LIMITED resources and has to choose how to dedicate them.
Administration revokes blocked program to protect immigrant parents (Team Trump kills D.A.P.A.)

The Trump administration is formally revoking an Obama-era program intended to protect immigrant parents of U.S. citizens and legal residents from deportation. The Deferred Action for Parents of Americans program was announced by the Obama administration in 2014 but was blocked by a federal judge in Texas after 26 states challenged the program’s legality in federal court.
Kelly formally revoked the policy memo that created the program, which mirrored an earlier effort to protect young immigrants in the country illegally from deportation on June 15.
Homeland Security John Kelly formally revoked a policy memo that created the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans program. The revocation came on the fifth anniversary of another effort that has protected hundreds of thousands of young immigrants from deportation.
The program to protect parents was announced by President Barack Obama in November 2014 but was never fully launched. It was intended to keep the immigrant parents safe from deportation and provide them with a renewable work permit good for two years, but it was blocked by a federal judge in Texas after 26 states filed suit against the federal government and challenged the effort’s legality. Republicans decried the effort at “backdoor amnesty” and argued that Obama overstepped his authority by protecting a specific class of immigrants living in the United States illegally.

“Trump is breaking a major major campaign promise.”
Thanks for sharing a fallacy. You’re not the only one sadly.
President Trump has kept numerous campaign promises in his short time in office. DAPA is gone as of today. Because he has not yet done away with DACA is not evidence that he will not do so in the future.
Patience will always do a body good :)
