Look at it this way. Trump grants amnesty to all the dreamers who are in compliance with all current existing laws of the land. If you think like the dumbos that’s potentially 800,000 future voters that may view Trump as a hero that saved their butts. In addition, he and us conservatives are shown, rightfully so, that we are merciful. I view this as a win - win.

Well, I DO kind of look at it that way. I agree with Trump’s tweet. If they’re productive members of society who haven’t broken our laws and have grown up here, it seems the sensible thing to do is to find some way to let them continue to do so. No doubt, this idea rubs some people the wrong way, but there are people who would also insist we do the impossible, find every single illegal immigrant in the country, and kick them out. That might sound good, but it’s simply not feasible or - as in this case, the humanitarian thing to do.

Trumps action on DACA is one of the best political jujitsu moves in recent history

What the media never tell you..

Legal immigrants hate illegals

I think Trump played the DACA card right..

The media would show some poor child at Harvard being thrown out of the country..

It is saying CONGRESS you fix it..

They never do anything

Except spend MONEY

The DACA-ites will also have had to do all the legal steps they were required to do to apply for that status, and not have committed crimes. That whittles down a lot of them. Here’s a list of what eliminates them, and also as of Sept. 5 2017, no more applications for DACA status accepted. Note this one in particular, no need of conviction:

arrest of any crime deemed to be a public safety threat.

Hat tip to Liz:

<><> felony criminal conviction;

<><>a significant misdemeanor conviction;

<><> multiple misdemeanor convictions;

<><>gang affiliation;

Talk about poetic justice. Obama’s DACA may end up being the serious ricochet wound of the many he inflicted on himself and the rest of the Democrats

Showing “compassion” for dreamy DACA innocent victim cases opens the door for more hard headed treatment of the “victimizers ” ( i.e. Parents and family members ) who broke the law to bring them here

Trump has only thrown the Obama DACA temporary order back into Congress' hands to settle it.

They can make it permanent or get rid of it.

But it is not Trump who created this mess. It was Obama and the politicians in Congress who couldn't get their act together to do their jobs properly.

Trump is just trying to get it straightened out.

But as usual, the entire Left is blaming him.
