...but not for the reasons you may think...
So what's wrong with what the president did? Nothing. Did the Dreamers do anything wrong? Absolutely not.
But here is a president trying to respect the three branches of government by putting DACA where it belongs, in the hands of congress, the legislative branch.
Anyone who respects the legislative process will agree with this decision, though I understand the misgivings one may have with the competence of our current legislature to get anything done.
However, this isn't about compassion or morality, it is respect for a process that was established within the US Constitution. So please, spare me your lectures about compassion. You will lose this argument. So will any states that try and take this matter to court.
If you have any respect for the Constitution you will see the president rightfully re-delegating legislative duties back to the Congress where they belong.
