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:
noore free .
Ryan is a f**e..out for himself and of course $$!
This dickhead doesn’t know his$#%&!@*from his elbow!! Past time to throw him out into the gutter!!
This guy has more faces than a deck of cards.
It was against the law to begin with. Ryan is a democrat and that’s where he gets his money.. soros boy
RYNO! Mouth is a twitter out of control.,
This the kind of c**p all of congress pull. Call it unconstitutional why did they allow obama to do it from the start. C.S.
Ryan gets paid off by Soro like McCain and several other socalled republicans. This was a illegal action done to solicit more democratic voters simple as that. ILLEGAL is the word and enforcement of the law is called for nothing less.
Nothing what so ever.
I am glad Trump is doing something no more free handouts.
