it was not obamas job or "only option" to give dreamers security. his job was to follow the constitution and execute the will of the american people. the democratic representation of the will of the american people is congress. if congress doesnt come up with something like DACA, this means that the elected representatives of the people cant find a common stance on the issue. therefore, existing and applicable laws would have told what to do. it is NOT the president's job to unilaterally defy the legislative branch and the constitution in such a situation.
funny you should say that because even with trump having emboldened the extreme right, the will of american people - across party lines - goes way beyond what even DACA did for "dreamers":
http://www.politico.com/story/2017/09/05/poll-trump-deporting-daca-dreamers-242343you keep ignoring that it was republicans who FILIBUSTERED congress MAJORITIES - this is exactly what you'd describe as "forcing one's hand" - to either stand idly by and do nothing or "defy the legislative branch" (that keeps holding those people hostage for purely political reasons - again, a majority of americans WANTS them to stay) - something presidents from ALL parties have done in such situations.
also, you can't possibly be oblivious to how insanely hypocritical that is coming from the current administration. have you already forgotten trump's complete lack of respect, even disdain for federal judges and congress? unbelievable...

if government agencies use this information, there will be a public outcry.
that's not an argument, there already IS public outcry. trump has proven time and again that he only makes policy for a minority of americans, his base.

illegal immigrants falling back to the status of illegal immigrants... oh what a shocking and cruel thing that would be.
considering we are talking about people that were brought here as kids, have been law abiding and productive members of society that grew up in america and very much consider it their home, i totally agree - not sarcastically like you though...

trump already announced that even if congress decided to let DACA phase out, he would not make dreamers a priority for deportations. but I guess in your worldview, anyone who doesnt follow the ideas of your leftist utopia has "no compassion and love for others".
trump also announced multiple times that he would release his taxes. trump also announced criminals would be a priority to deport yet we've seen a surge of deported law abiding and cherished members of their community. then there is that internal memo you so conveniently ignored, suggesting dreamers should prepare to leave... it's sad that your bias seems to make you gullible enough to actually take his word for it despite all the evidence...

yeah the attorney general of the united states of america must be a simplistic idiot, while law expert fender is right of course
https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/attorney-general-sessions-delivers-remarks-daca"No greater good can be done for the overall health and well-being of our Republic, than preserving and strengthening the impartial rule of law. Societies where the rule of law is treasured are societies that tend to flourish and succeed.
Societies where the rule of law is subject to political whims and personal biases tend to become societies afflicted by corruption, poverty, and human suffering."
please spare us your propaganda and stop to assume to know anything better than an actual expert on the subject
if all you can offer are gross misrepresentations of my arguments and points, you should really just consider not posting at all. at no point did i say jeff sessions was a "simplistic idiot" (your reading comprehension seems to deteriorate immensly when you're triggered) nor did i suggest that i know anything better than him, what i said is that there are many legal experts that reject the claim about DACA being unconstitutional and that this NARRATIVE is simplistic. seriously, learn to read.
what i also suggested is that sessions himself is extremely biased in this highly politicised matter and that he has a pretty clear track record concerning ALL kinds of immigration, so acting like his narratives and opinions on the matter represent an objective legal state or are the only viable ones, is nothing short of ridiculous and dishonest. the only "propaganda" here is you uncritically swallowing the right wing talking points, apparently without having any original thought of your own on the matter, and then regurgitating them here like a brainwashed minion, spewing falsehoods and moronic accusations...
