“DACA was an example of how we can be a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws.”
Fail to control the borders. When people come in illegally, legalize them! If you lose when trying to pass this in Congress, do it by executive fiat. This is Obama’s model of “a nation of laws”? https://t.co/lbOF7sTGCz

Why did Trump choose such an odd moment to cave (right when he was winning the PR Battle of Los Angeles).
Maybe the answer is obvious: He knew Israel’s Iran raid would bury the news. Not only is it a Friday–the traditional bad news dump day — it’s a bit of a Jo Moore Day. … https://t.co/4e1lElzdoR
