This week, President Donald Trump is expected to end DACA, a program designed to allow illegal immigrants to stay and work legally in the United States. The decision — while not final — has elicited outrage on both ends of the political spectrum.
But this isn’t the first time.
When Barack Obama first created DACA, Republicans rightly criticized the program on multiple fronts. They claimed it was an affront to our established immigration laws and that its very creation as unconstitutional.
The latter argument stems from the fact that DACA wasn’t the result of legislation, but rather an executive order. In legal terms, executive orders can’t overrule laws. They’re supposed to be directives for how the executive branch shall execute the laws written by congress.
Now, some Republicans are changing their tune. But let’s not forget how they felt about the program in the first place.
See what Speaker of the House Paul Ryan said about DACA under Barack Obama on the next page:
So why did you sit on your$#%&!@*and allow this to happen?
Pissed your dumb$#%&!@*off.
He flips and flops like a fish out of water. If his lips are moving he’s lying
Koch suckers everyone
Sounds more like a Liberal every day. Says something on issue one day than turns on the President and says the opposite. Who do you represent Ryan? Not the people or Trump. Traitor and voters need to remember that in 2018.
I STAND with the PEOPLE’S President!
who that
Yet Ryan and his goons allowed Obama get away with it
“Blantatly Unconstitutional ” those were Ryan’s very words! Liar!
DACA DREAMERS get Section 8 housing, welfare, food stamps, free medical, free college…enough is enough! What do you get?
He needs to be in prison!
