You realize that when I say "US government negotiated in good faith to get these illegal immigrants to become documented...." that I'm not talking about congress negotiating with every illegal immigrant, right? Or even Obama negotiating wtih every illegal immigrant.
Its a pretty simple idea. The US government set up a program (doesn't matter if it was EO or congress voted on it). The people who qualified had to choose to enter into it... they had to submit their information. That's the negotiation. the illegal immigrants could have chosen not to enter into the program. Hell, apparently there are even fees.
If you take that program away, you are essentially reneging on an existing agreement. Not just that, but the people (700k) who entered all their information into the program are now extraordinarily exposed, as ICE now knows exactly who they are and where they live and work. It's seriously bad form. But I don't expect you to understand that...
And Trump giving "congress 4-5 months to work it out"... they offered him a joint solution days ago and he said he wouldn't vote on it. After saying he would vote on anything they brought him. It's irrelevant if he gives them 4months, 5 months, or 25 months if he's going to refuse to sign anything both sides of congress agree on. He has no credibility.
