Process is Important

We are not (yet anyway) governed by a king, which is why I very much support what President Trump has done with the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. It is critical to first understand that DACA was enacted by an executive order and not a statute passed by Congress. In fact, what Obama did was decide that he wasn't going to enforce immigration law that had been passed by Congress and just allow 800,000 children of illegals to stay in this country. We are a government of laws and not kingly decrees but when you are by decree affecting the lives of 800,000 people and who knows how many U.S. citizens through welfare benefits paid, etc. it clearly falls into the category of kingly decree that flouts the law. 

President Trump's strategy is brilliant. Few Americans are of a mind to throw these kids out of this country when they have been here their whole lives through no choice of their own, so the President said he will wait for 6 months for Congress to pass a law - a real statute - that sets out the terms and conditions under which they can stay. All the moaning and wailing about President Trump being "heartless" and "evil" is nonsense. It's just political posturing. Republicans are spineless and want to duck the issue and Democrats want a monarchy of the elite and don't want to be bound by the Constitution. Let Congress instead do what it is Constitutionally supposed to do and pass a law for everyone to follow. Or not. Process is important - ours is a government of laws, not men.
