2) In 2012, Obama enacted DACA as an alternative since no legislation on it would pass a GOP controlled House.

So whether or not we agree on how to cherry pick Trump's tweet to make him sound partially correct, your assertion that Democrats gave up on the Dream Act is wrong.



 

3) This thread is about his ignorance. If you want to focus on his immigration policy, feel free to make a new thread every week as it changes. 


I mean Obama did enact DACA, increased border security to their highest levels ever, and also saw a historic high in deportations that accomplished his goal of reducing recidivism. But, facts...

1) Sounds like a whole lot of excuses for accomplishing nothing in 2 years. Trump's been in office just over a year; we'll see what we get. So use what ever phrase you want: decide, do, accomplish,.... none of it changes the facts that nothing got done in the 2 years they control Congress and the White House.

2) So Obama passed an Executive Order, that defied law, in his 8 years as POTUS, I must retract my assertion that they accomplished nothing

3) I agree that this thread is about ignorance and moreover, it is quite petty in nature.
