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:
I can’t stand seeing anything about him, he’s a traitor to America.
Trump is genius in pushing this back to them to solve in the next 6 months! He is forcing them to do immigration reform! Right before midterm elections! Hmmmm! Brilliant!
He also said we would wait out the Taliban in Afghanistan. WTF they live there and are not going anywhere
Ignorant asshole
END IT,END IT
This was “blatant and unconstitutional.” So let’s carry on, while I support it.
Who cares what he says.
So how come you fuckers did not do anything to stop it but now are criticizing trump
You are finally right about something
End it.
