But the beauty of it is that DACA will be seen as what it was intended to be: A step toward keeping the "good" immigrants who, many through no fault of their own, were brought here and and then made the best of it on their own.  Who willingly exposed themselves to xenophobes who cannot see past the country of origin and skin color just in the hopes of one day becoming a legal citizen in the only home they have ever known in a lot of cases.

And there will be shown that those who oppose such a deal do it purely from a personal reaction with no understanding for the reasoning behind it.




But, in what is becoming increasingly rare in the US, doing the right thing may have trumped playing to the base.


Exactly.

But apparently the bill for DACA won't have any commitments to a wall. So while the Wall isn't off the table, Trump gave the Democrats what they wanted without them giving up an inch on the wall.
