We need to hold Congress’ feet to the fire. NO AMNESTY. And hold Trump to this as well. Target anyone that supports, votes for, or signs AMNESTY. Primary them. Our clear, consistent, and loud voices will keep DACA dead.
Even majorities of those who voted in primaries that Trump won overwhelmingly don’t agree with that view.
DACA is illegal and unconstitutional - it is and must remain dead. That is different from potential legislation. Favoring the deportation of people who have lived here their entire lives and brought here at like the age of 2, for example, is not a winning issue even in the most conservative of districts. If allowing them to stay (the non violent criminals, of course) with legal status (not citizenship) is attached to wall (or at least fence) funding and fully secure immigration system that would be an extraordinarily good outcome. They must also be required to fully assimilate - learn our system of government, our constitution, be functionally literate in English, etc. so they will be a benefit rather than a drag on the economy - that is both for their benefit and the country as a whole. All of that is not the goal of the Democrats - they are merely pawns in a scheme - which is why their so-called compassion is irritating - the use of human beings to exploit and keep in poverty and isolated from the rest of society without a common language to benefit them politically is unconscionable.
What else could Trump have meant by giving Congress time to act?
On what?
Deportations?
OK. The best thing for Congress to do is NOTHING. Congress has already passed immigration laws, signed by various Presidents. Under these laws, the DACA recipients are here ILLEGALLY.
The President's job is to ENFORCE THE LAW.
DO YOUR JOB, MR. PRESIDENT!!!
