I know, I am well aware of what happened because I was watching the Senate floor and commentary.

DACA needs to be legislated, in it's current form, it is unconstitutional and quite rightly, Trump and the Republicans are contesting it. This is not about any moral test, it's about upholding the Constitution, which all those right up to the President, have sworn to protect, people cannot pick and choose which laws to ignore. As I pointed out in an earlier post, President Obama did not have legislative authority to rescind or freeze laws, which is exactly what DACA does.
