Donald Trump walked into the Oval Office on the first Monday of his presidency less than 100 hours ago, and what has ensued is a frenzy of focused activity aimed at national and job security.

Through a series of executive actions, the president has been checking off his campaign promises like a Friday to-do list before a three-day weekend.

Authorize building the wall, check. Streamline federal regulations on building pipelines, check. Order a regulatory streamlining plan from the Commerce Department to ease burdens on manufacturers increasing the number of jobs, check. Implement “extreme vetting” of asylum seekers from certain Middle Eastern countries, check. Withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, check. Clear away bureaucratic debris to allow the building of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, check.

In his first 100 hours, Trump has shown that the previous administration’s choice to create law using the president’s pen and phone can and will be eviscerated one signature at a time.

But what is most significant is the political deftness Trump and his team are showing. The picture of the new president sitting with some of his most ardent opponents from organized labor has got to send shivers down the spines of Democratic Party insiders....

You may be right. DACA is an achilles heal for Trump because undoing it look like he is cruel to kids, but the kids come with big families attached.

That’s the bad thing about it continuing. Every one of them added to the 750,000 adds to the problem.
How do we deport the parents, uncles, aunts, cousins, etc. when we have given the kids a pass?

Waiting until they harm or kill Americans to deport them is a bad policy.
