Ending DACA in six months accomplishes both goals.

This may eventually lead to a DREAM Act, but I'm not going to thank Trump. What he does, he does for himself.

Obama, on the other hand, gave Dreamers something we never had. Before it was harder to pass something in Congress because Dreamers never felt what it was to leave the shadows.

Congress will have a much more difficult time putting us back in the shadows now that we know what it feels like being out of the shadows for five years.
