Taking the visceral anti-Trump reaction out the equation, the bottom line is that Obama's unilateral determination to administratively nullify laws on the books was a HUGE deal. Sure, it was for a good thing - who could oppose "Dreamers" motivated to succeed. I mean, how could anyone refuse to help these kids?

I don't know. Ask Congress. The legislative branch specifically refused to enact a law that would have created a legal exemption for DACA kids. After the legislature refused to rescind the law prohibiting it, Obama decided that the rule of law is for losers and meanies. He had a pen and phone, <in my best bandito voice> "Laws? We don't need no stinking laws!"

Obama justified the refusal to enforce on the executive branch's prosecutorial discretion (Congress makes the laws, the President enforces them - but sometimes POTUS just can't enforce them all, so he gets to pick and choose what to enforce).

The administrative DACA rule was a really big step the usurpation of legislative power by the executive. Sure, this time it was for a good thing. But the funny thing about laws in a common law society is that once a branch of government expands its authority, particularly the executive branch which is entrusted with police powers, it generally does move back. Today the POTUS says, he we just want to help kids. Tomorrow, enforcing this law would make it tough for business, enforcing this law makes it hard for cops to do their job, enforcing this law stops us from monitioring everyone allowing the bad guys to stir up bad stuff and break down society. No, No ... don't worry about passing any new laws, we'll just do stuff that we think is best - We have pens and a phone (and the police, prosecutors, army, etc.)

You want to be pissed? Get angry at Congress for failing to lawfully enact Daca in the first place. The have six months to come up with a fix. Call you congressman and tell them to get off there ass.
