Not according to the rabid trumpets and to Trump himself. He campaigned
on deporting all 11 mil+ illegals in just two years with a deportation
force. That was his main message, including killing DACA. He didn't
campaign on legalizing DACA. Like with most things, he also muddied it
up, to a lesser extent, saying at least a few times that for those here
already, that haven't committed crimes, that he believes in a merit
system, there are so many..... Whatever that meant. Polls show about
two thirds of Americans think the DACAs should stay. That kind of fits
with the trumpet support numbers, ie I would think that most of those
other one third are trump supporters who want them gone.

I agree. But Trump is being the typical lying shyster he's always
been and he just betrayed his core supporters, big time. And this
is no small thing. One of the BIG issues during the campaign, one
that he ridiculed guys like Kasich, Bush, Rubio and even Cruz on
was immigration. Kasich for example was honest with what he would
do with DACA and similar. He didn't want to deport them, wanted
a solution where they could stay. Trump lied, saying he'd deport
11 mil, no if's and or buts. Yet now we're stuck with juvenile
Trump and he's now basically in favor of legalizing DACA, just as
Kasich and the others would have done. Ee were told by the
trumpets that those others were Rinos, no good, bums. So how do
they now excuse Trump?
