Its just the other side's turn to be pissed off.
DACA is just another mess made by Obama where he told Congress to stuff it despite the fact that Congress had dealt with it repeatedly and said no, that was stinking up the joint and was headed for the courts where it certainly would be overturned.
Now Trump has simply turned it back over to Congress to act (again), as promised.
. And to those who called the wall either useless or irrelevant ... so we tear down what we now have, because we shouldn't have it, don't need it, right ??? Dumb Don couldn't even carry Obama's jockstrap. Obama must be chuckling to himself while he watches Dumb Don sink like a rock.

A frightening thought: even with that quantum leap in intelligence, George is still pretty damned dumb compared to the rest of humanity. More frightening: consider that some President after Trump may make Douchebag Don look like a genius. Sometimes it's best not to ask, "How low can we go?"

I'm tired of this imposter perverting the office of the President, perverting American values and flat out perverting America in his wake. The ironic thing is that (even though he is supposed to be a developer) he seems to be good at only destroying things... and doesn't create or improve a damn thing. I'm done already. I wish I could say he gave it a good try but he didn't even do that.

If it's just symbolism you are after, hang on for your wall. It won't do a lot of good and will divert resources from other far more worthy causes. Seems like a fine symbol for you and the administration you still cling to.
Right on

Surrender, Kurt. Resistance is futile.  Really? Trump's gonna deport people who were children when their parents brought them into the country illegally? Even though they grew up here? This isn't about jobs or national security. It's just good ol' FUD laced with some poisonous hate. And no, trying to link The Wall with the DACA is not a good idea. Commonsense immigration reform, sure. But we've talked about the Wall to death here and on other threads. If you've forgotten the points made against The Wall, kurtster, scroll back. I provided many links on this issue. I'm not going to re-hash and re-research this issue. If you or anyone else here can explain why Trump thinks it's a good idea to threaten South Korea with the dissolution of our free trade agreement with the country while he's badgering it to stand up to North Korea's ballistic missile program, clue us in.

Oh well.
So here's the issue. Most of us don't believe that's a compromise. DACA = Good Wall = Expensive, useless and bad. not really compromise territory. *shrug* Appreciate the effort, though...

I was more than a little surprised on realising that almost all of the Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi etc guys who were on the rig I spent the last three weeks aboard, voted for Trump - and not because they were particularly enamoured with him, but because they reckoned him to be the lesser evil when compared to Hillary. Most reckoned that they didn't care that Hillary was female - they just felt that she was truly the worst option available, male, female, whatever....

Trump has just left my home town of Lake Charles, LA. He was there about two hours.
Lucinda Williams and I can breathe a sigh of relief that our long national nightmare is over. Cripple Creek can now begin to heal.
