Key Facts About DACA
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Wed, 09/06/2017 - 10:48amDemocrats, statist liberals, other leftists and their media echo chamber were in full-throated “sky is falling” mode over the Labor Day weekend about the supposed imminent repeal of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program by President Trump.

Governing by executive order works only when the next president is going to follow your lead.
