Thats my point. If they put Jeb Bush in there it would make no difference. This Trump is weak.
DACA - anyone have a non-stupid prediction of what Trump will decide?

Rumor has it that Trump has thrown this into the laps of the cowards in congress, which is exactly where it belongs. Obama, once again, abused his authority, The executive branch has no business dictating immigration law, except in the case of national emergency, and then only temporarily. My opinion, we should not be sending these kids back who are already here. They win the lotto, good for them. Moving forward, no more.

I would still want to be able to deport any of them who commit a felony going forward. It may sound harsh. It isnt. They have no entitlement. With good behavior many things should be possible and they do not deserve to be punished. With bad behavior, gang related shiite and so on then you are gone even if it is fifteen years from now. So that would be more like a permanent green card rather than citizenship.
Absolutely. The gift is not a get out of jail free card. Criminals go bye-bye.
Drudge linked to a report stating that Trump is ending DACA with a six month delay.
Giving Congress time to act.
His point being Congress should be making immigration law not the President.
Great Job Mr. President... that is exactly correct.
Establishment republicans will be on record if they want to save Dreamers.
Maybe now they save DACA and build wall.
Democrats will have to sell out one part of their base or the other.
perfect politics and Trump follows constitution.
I love it.

Indeed.
If I had a magic wand though- and let's go ahead and assume that I don't- I would give trump money for a third of the wall and let his people put it where it is needed most.
And I would then take the rest of the funds and put it into fixing the visa overstay problem which is a complete mess and really where all the action is now and has been for quite a while. And guess what, as the wall tightens, visa overstays rise.
I am not going to do a full flame on it right now because people who follow it know how totally, totally out of control it is and how totally, totally, fixable it is- not 100% - but bigly in a way that reduces the numbers and sends the proper message to the folks back home- don't come. It just boggles the mind how little controls there are over visa overstays and how we have not even applied decades old technology. Every arrival should be coded in and with a scheduled departure date. No entry in the departure field in the database when the date arrives, then -BOOM- it cuts a work order to the locally or nationally contracted bounty hunters or some version of that. Right now the government just shrugs and waits for them to be arrested for something. Not always- so spare me that- but disgustingly so in general.
