I agree. It's not the program I disagree with, it's the fact that it wasn't enacted and approved by Congress. Trump should yank it and let Congress do it right.

As far as I know Barrack Hussien Obama was born in Hawaii the biography where Obama is described as “Born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii”. This booklet was first published in Brietbart and verified by Snopes. The excuse for the birthplace discrepancy is that the bio was written by some editor at the literary agency, not by Obama himself. Which may very well be true. But where did the editor get this information? I know that Barrack Hussien Obama did not give it to him!! II know Barrack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii. When people write that he is a Constitutional scholar I tend to question that thesis because if he were he would have known that the United States Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, which was decided in 1898. Wong Kim Ark was born in San Francisco to Chinese parents legally residing there. He later returned with his parents to China. Denied re-admittance, Wong Kim Ark argued before the Supreme Court that the Fourteenth Amendment, which states that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” are United States citizens, made him a citizen of the United States at his birth. The Supreme Court agreed, holding that, because his parents were legally residing in the United States when he was born here, he was a citizen at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment. If Barrack Hussein Obama still signed the DACA order he is either a fool or a crook! To be truthful I know for a fact he never read the full text of the Fourteenth Amendment!!

This should be a slam dunk, if settled law and precedent follows. A sitting President can cancel or modify any Executive Action, especially this one which was not within Obama’s authority In the first place. I doubt any DACA individual will be deported and will be managed by compromise, when Nancy sees fit.

Trump says he is against deportation and is only seeking a SCOTUS remedy here because Democrats refuse to come to the table now. Once he has the power to nullify he thinks Democrats will deal with him.

As retired Federal Law Enforcement Officer with well over a quarter of a century of service in federal law enforcement alone I am very amused at the utter incompetence of the lawyers employed by the United States Department of Justice who advice Presidents have never read that the United States Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, which was decided in 1898. Wong Kim Ark was born in San Francisco to Chinese parents legally residing there. He later returned with his parents to China. Denied re-admittance, Wong Kim Ark argued before the Supreme Court that the Fourteenth Amendment, which states that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” are United States citizens, made him a citizen of the United States at his birth. The Supreme Court agreed, holding that, because his parents were legally residing in the United States when he was born here, he was a citizen at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment.

PVT Raymond Lopez Well Mr. former LEO, the DACA Executive Order has zero to do with the 14th Amendment or the SCOTOS decision you note. One is birthright, the other, children brought into the USA illegally.

I can't understand at all the reasoning behind a policy that was enacted by executive order somehow can't be rescinded by executive order.
The right thing to do would be to pass legislation to permanently settle the issue one way or another.
The hell of it is I think most people agree on the correct course of action, but would rather have the issue to fight over than actually do anything about it.

That is what Trump is trying to do. He wants the status permanent based on law versus Executive Order. He can't get Congress to deal with him on it though because they view the Executive Order as law that can't be rescinded. If SCOTUS decides in his favor he stated he is not deporting all those people but instead seeking Congress to pass a law that makes their status permanent. Though I think he mentioned those that broke the law while under DACA status would be booted out since that is a violation of the agreement.
