They’re overplaying their hand on this one - expanded DACA is going to backfire big time in their face.
Obummer’s urban voters don’t like their freebies divvy’d up.
You should have seen the immediate response from the obama crowd in one houston neighborhood where sheila jackson lee led a group surveying an old high school to be used to house the children pouring across the border. (whew, that was a long sentence) - the reaction was “what about our children? They have needs that aren’t being met and we are spending money on others?”..... while I agreed with her, it was partially a “not in our backyard” mentality which is rampant among democrats.
Nothing was done in response to DACA. In fact, Reps approved the backdoor amnesty. They just didn’t like how he did it, which is why Cantor was working on his own version of a DACA called the “Kids Act.” No doubt this was seen as a green light by the WH. When you reward something, you get more of it.
Pie only goes so far.
