"DACA is o.k. if Congress passes it?"

Sure. That is how immigration and naturalization laws are supposed to be done per the Constitution:

Article I, Section 8, Clause 4

[The Congress shall have Power] To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization ...

Trump knows it will never pass. The DREAM act couldn't pass. That is why Obama did DACA by executive fiat. All of the GOPe wailed and gnashed their teeth at Obama for defying the Constitution.

But now that Trump says he will not continue DACA and if Congress wants amnesty they will need to pass it, the GOPe is wailing and gnashing their teeth at Trump for calling their bluff.

It is about damn time for the GOPe in Congress to face the music. They bitched about their Article I power being eroded for the last 16 years. Trump is giving their Article I power back to them, and he is giving it to them good and hard, to paraphrase H. L. Mencken.

60 million of us voted for a crack down on the illegals. If the Republicans in Congress vote to continue DACA, they will lose badly.
