Look at it this way. Trump grants amnesty to all the dreamers who are in compliance with all current existing laws of the land. If you think like the dumbos that’s potentially 800,000 future voters that may view Trump as a hero that saved their butts. In addition, he and us conservatives are shown, rightfully so, that we are merciful. I view this as a win - win.

Well, I DO kind of look at it that way. I agree with Trump’s tweet. If they’re productive members of society who haven’t broken our laws and have grown up here, it seems the sensible thing to do is to find some way to let them continue to do so. No doubt, this idea rubs some people the wrong way, but there are people who would also insist we do the impossible, find every single illegal immigrant in the country, and kick them out. That might sound good, but it’s simply not feasible or - as in this case, the humanitarian thing to do.
The DACA-ites will also have had to do all the legal steps they were required to do to apply for that status, and not have committed crimes. That whittles down a lot of them. Here’s a list of what eliminates them, and also as of Sept. 5 2017, no more applications for DACA status accepted. Note this one in particular, no need of conviction:
arrest of any crime deemed to be a public safety threat.
