Trump Admin Discovers DACA Recipients Are Also Migrants, Shocking Absolutely No One
Mainstream media now spotlights the 'novel' issue of DACA recipients getting swept up in immigration enforcement, treating it as an unfortunate side effect. This ignores that the DACA program, initiated by executive order in 2012, was a temporary measure, never a path to citizenship. It left nearly 800,000 individuals in a perpetual state of legal limbo, vulnerable to policy shifts and political
whims. The program's inherent fragility, rather than being an oversight, was the feature. The media frames this as a 'Trump crackdown,' but Washington's bipartisan inaction on comprehensive immigration reform for decades laid the groundwork. Whether it's Biden allowing Title 42 to linger or Trump revoking protections, the 'dreamers' were always political pawns, their precarious status a convenient
lever for both parties. How many more times will we pretend to be shocked by the logical conclusion of an intentionally unstable policy?
