Letting DACA lapse would be the President’s best move so far

Clinton/Lynch/Comey The Death of the Contract between the Government and the Governed
Avarice, ambition, revenge and licentiousness would break the strongest cords of our Constitution, as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.

by baldilocks The little guys have to follow the rules; the Big Guys and Girls, not so much.
