First, no one is likely to be deported over the cessation of the DACA program unless they are a criminal/felon. The DACA was never intended to be a permanent thing. The name of the program is Deferred action for childhood arrivals, deferred being delayed not permanent

Most of the DACA "children" are 22 years and older now. We are not talking about children, we are talking about adults. Trump rightfully is forcing Congress, who writes immigration law, to act. Obama kicked the can down the road like a good politician, signed DACA and has tried to take the moral high ground ever since. If you have fallen for this moral preening, you are part of the problem.

He did nothing on immigration when he had the white house and both houses of Congress. He is a charlatan on this issue. He even acknowledged he didn't have the authority to act outside of Congresses authority on this issue (immigration) and guess what, he did it anyway. If you want to find a culprit in all of this, look no further than Obama. He had 8 years to try to fix immigration and did zippo except sign a deferred action he knew would end.

Cpl Tou Lee Yang - I'm not a Trump supporter, just a fan of the constitution. Obama himself stated it was not within his authority but used the inaction of congress to justify his temporary action.
And no the Mitt Romney plan is not Obama Care very significant differences between the two, and yes Jonathan Gruber was one of the key authors of the ACA as passed. Watch the videos. http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/13/politics/tapper-gruber/

Cpl Tou Lee Yang - Tony, the ACA was designed similarly to the Massachusetts plan, not identically, a very big difference. Jonathon Gruber was the architect of the plan and made many changes to it from the Massachusetts plan. If you don't know this, then you are either not paying attention or are getting your news from only one (or limited) sources. This is not new, this is commonly known by anyone that has followed this even remotely.

Gruber thinks you are a stupid. He relied on your stupidity to get this passed and he deliberately hid the intent of many parts in order to confuse and obfuscate the plan. What is embarrassing, for you, is you don't even seem to know he played you like a harp. You are still carrying water for Obama and Gruber and company.

I don't think you are stupid, although Gruber and Obama do. I think they knew you would get your information from media favorable to them that would help with the lies they told about the ACA. You are showing me just how right they were.

Either we are a country of laws or not. If you think Obama's decisions and decrees are OK Trumps are just as legal and OK also. Refusing to enforce laws, going around congress, and refusing to enforce boarders have made a mess. Some how it has to get cleaned up or we can just have imperial presidents.

I understand their plight and anger but they should be angry at the parents that had 20 years to get legal but instead gamed the system. I'd never put my children in that position. None of the parents' excuses hold water either. Didn't have the time? If you slept at night you had time. No money? They managed to buy homes and pay the bills. They couldn't save $10 a week until they had enough cash to apply? It's a case of using the system to their advantage and putting their children in a bad situation. I do hope the kids can work it out but they don't need to be angry at the country that has allowed them the benefit of living here for the last 20 years or so.
