Let's use Peabody's “way back machine” for a moment.

“....Lawmakers had been trying to get the DREAM Act (the acronym standing for Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) passed since at least 2001.

“This is not a path to citizenship. It's not a permanent fix,” Obama said on June 15, 2012.

“This is a temporary stopgap measure that lets us focus our resources wisely while giving a degree of relief and hope to talented, driven, patriotic young people.”....”

Now another setting on the Way back machine.

“.....Sept. 5, 2017: Trump administration rescinds DACA

Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a televised speech (we fact-checked it) that the Trump administration was rescinding the deferred-action program, potentially affecting 690,000 DACA beneficiaries.

As part of the phase-out, the administration planned to adjudicate, on a case-by-case basis, applications filed by Sept. 5 and reject any new requests filed after that date. Individuals who already had DACA with protection expiring by March 5, 2018, would be able to apply for renewal by Oct. 5, 2017.

“Congress, get ready to do your job - DACA!” Trump tweeted, adding that he would revisit the issue if legislators failed to pass a measure......”

Democrats have their finger prints all over the failure to legislate a solution for DACA or the Dreamers. Trump is fully capable of using the Bully Pulpit to point out that this is a failure of the Democratic Party to endorse a bipartisan legislative solution that they have known about for decades.

Let the finger pointing begin and may it be focused on Democrats who from the Beginning of DACA know it was not a permanent solution and knew it had no path to citizenship or to permanent residency.
