He caved...

Nope.. I don't think so.. see how it plays out. By throwing it at Congress, Trump has turned DACA into a bargaining chip. In return, he very likely wants funding for the wall, passage of health care reform and repeal of birthright citizenship... or maybe all three.

This is an interesting paragraph from an official http://www.politico.com/story/2017/09/06/trump-daca-dreamers-tweet-justice-department-242375

Beyond suggesting that Trump use “tools at his disposal to put more pressure on Congress,” Flores declined to clarify what other steps the president might take to shield the dreamers, for whom he has professed “a great love” and promised to treat with “great heart.” Flores said Trump’s decision to create a six-month winddown period for DACA would actually prove to be a compassionate step, because it removed the possibility of an immediate end to the program via court order.

I hope you are right, but as I said on a prior post, the messaging in the tweet is atrocious. I’ll ask it again, WTF does “I will revisit this issue!” mean? He should have said, “It is now time for Congress to act!” Instead of righteously hanging DACA around Congress’ neck, he assumes responsibility. That’s exactly the wrong message.
