Thread: Broken Promise? Trump Still Hasn’t Ended DACA

I agree completely. There is something a little suspicious about all the traction given to this particular issue about DACA. It doesn't hurt to keep the public's attention on this particular issue, but not if there is so much given to make Trump look like he has given up on immigration, or that there is nothing he is going to be able to do about it.

You know, to all the rest, it might help to allay suspicion to start focusing on what Republicans like McCain, Cruz and Rubio are saying about DACA. Why should Trump take all the focus on this issue, when the rest of these are bound to play a role in getting rid of it? Are they really just sitting on their hands on this one waiting for Trump to apply executive power?

And what about the persistent and more dangerous threat of general amnesty for illegals? Another way that the DACA issue could be played by anti-Trump Republicans is distracting away from their support for a more general amnesty which they support.

Nothing suspicious about it at all. Next to the border fence, this was probably his biggest promise. Nothing suspicious about folks raising heck over a broken primary campaign promise. Remember the elder Bush and "read my lips?" Big campaign promises not kept are going to piss a lot of folks off, especially if the promise was one of the factors used in their decision to vote for a particular candidate.

He hasn't done anything about DACA but encourage them by telling them he has "heart." Heck, he hasn't even stopped taking applications for the program.

What does that have to do with anything? Actually, Ted Cruz, like Donald Trump, campaigned on ending DACA immediately.

Why should Trump take all the focus on this issue, when the rest of these are bound to play a role in getting rid of it?

Trump takes the heat because he is the one that can immediately end it and that is exactly what he promised to do once elected President!

And what about the persistent and more dangerous threat of general amnesty for illegals? Another way that the DACA issue could be played by anti-Trump Republicans is distracting away from their support for a more general amnesty which they support.

We're always concerned about a "general amnesty." However, this specific discussion is not about a "general amnesty" it's about a promise that was made to the American people that can by taken care of through a simple phone call, executive order, or a memorandum. Ending DACA is completely within Trump's realm of responsibility. He has the power to end it immediately!

Keep your promise, Mr. President, end DACA now!

I've been looking for some official facts to support your claim that the program ends in June but have not been able to find anything. Please give us something more than "he said" to validate your claim. Where is Shawn Spicer getting his information? If the program is designed to twilight in June, it should be officially documented somewhere.

I'm posting this again because I don't want to get it buried until I receive a response. So far I'm only hearing crickets on this.

It's not my claim that it ends in June, MW. Sean Spicer said in a February White House Press Conference on DACA that the "thinking is to let is expire in June." The program started in June of 2012 with Janet Napolitano's Memorandum. Obama renewed it for 3 years in 2014, with an EO, so I guess that's why they think it expires in June.

I've posted all I know or am going to say about it.

All I'm asking is that you point me to a link that states the programs actually ends in June. If you can't do that, I'd say your whole argument is based on a "he said" comment and not official.

Thanks for responding.

It's definitely a "he said", "he" being Sean Spicer, White House Press Secretary for the President, who when asked about DACA at a White House Press Conference in February said, "the thinking is we'll let it expire in June."

This Feb. White House briefing mentions DACA, mass deportations, illegal aliens, etc. in a couple of places.
