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:
oh, here comes the flip- flopper.
Why was it not unconstitutional before obumer put it in effect
He pulled the same c**p with healthcare
F**k u Paul you are a pos traitor
Read the law idiot
Ryan: Just another 2-faced RINO. I’m from WI and I want him voted out. Support Trump or say bye!
FIRE THIS CORRUPT SCUMBAG RYAN NOW!!…GET FLIP FLOP RYAN OUT NOW!!!….ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!
I agree but why didn’t congress have the gonads to do something about it then?
Ryan is from Wisconsin but they probably want to send him to Minnesota…ha!
I do not trust Ryan, he is NOT for President Trump as much as he pretends he is. His wife is a Democrat, he is for open borders, loves lobbyists and is for Globalism. Ryan’s record shows he is not a strong Republican, he is a RINO!. Trump needs to keep his eyes wide open. He is working for George Soros, Obama, Hillary, and/or the Democrats.
