This is why we should never listen to Trumpers - they cause businesses to fail by hiring untalented people instead of talented people. That's why they are failures.
The US isn't based on "rule of law". We are based on "rule of people".
The people override the law. The law doesn't override the people.
If you don't like Democracy, you can go back to Russia.
What the helming........
Where does this nonsensical thinking come from???
The United States in not based on the rule of people. If we wanted that we would live in a dictatorship where men rule by their capricious whims and hold on power. That is the very thing the founding father were running from. Russia "rule by people" -- e.g., Putin and company.
The United States is a nation of laws - it is what has made us different and successful.
People cannot override the law - that is called chaos - and again you want that ?? Try Venezuela. Ain't working out so well.
We are a Constitutional Republic. Pure Democracy is where the individual is sacrificed to mob rule. We don't have that here.
Don't they teach civics anymore??? Where does this utter lack of understanding and facts come from??

And The Donald just went ahead to kill DACA. I knew there was a potential for these kids to be at risk of deportation after coming out of the shadows as soon as a Republican administration took power. They wanted to have legal protection but many will now wish they hadn't signed up.
In my opinion ending DACA is just cruel. Even Paul Ryan was against this decision and he's really conservative. Trump just wants to destroy as much of Obama's legacy as possible. I've never seen someone have so much hate for another person, especially towards a former President. Bush 41 and 43 both have a great relationship with Bill Clinton and each sought guidance and advice from their predecessor. Even Obama got along with Dubya. Obama's letter showed that while he was disappointed with the outcome, he was wiling to be there to offer advice to Trump but as we all know Donald doesn't want to have anything to do with Obama. It's a shame since Trump could've gained popularity had he made the effort to be a President for everyone not just his base. Every action he has either taken or attempted to take has been with the sole purpose of infuriating both Democrats and independents, the 64% +/- 3 that does not approve of his performance thus far.
On another note: It's sad to see so many tech enthusiasts be in favor of such a harsh policy. These kids were brought here without their consent. They have stayed out of trouble, studied and even graduated while having much lower resources compared to Americans born here. They just want to be able to work, pay taxes and contribute to our economy. This country needs more people with STEM skills. I agree that we need some sort of immigration reform but DACA protection should be honored for those brave enough to come forward even if the program is ended.
Trump won the election precisely on this issue. I think you are also rewriting history here - Obama was vile against Bush (W) and the left gave him no rest or respect during his presidency. In fact -- since 2000 the left has been hateful and violent to anyone who isn't far left radical.
You are looking through revisionist history glasses. The DACA program was a legal farce from the get go and it encouraged thousands of families to send minors north unaccompanied -- putting them in danger. And Obama's lack of enforcement and letting criminal aliens stay in the US even after they were supposed to be deported resulted in the death of 1800 American citizens by illegal immigrants during his 8 year term. Their blood is on his hands and the hands of the left wing progressives.
Trump made this promise during the election -- and kept it. Now let Congress come up with a plan to deal with the ones already here and get back to the rule of law.
