If he expanded it to everyone do you understand what they would do to him in congress? I have no doubt in my mind they'd try to impeach him or vote on a bill immediately removing all current types of executive pardon programs including daca which would result in not only the older people not having a work permit but the younger ones as well, why would I advocate for something that could potentially hurt me? No thank you.

If DACA was was fair - ie. for all Dreamers, you might have a case because after all, many people take pity on Dreamers' plight, but DACA excluded many deserving people such as myself (if I may be so bold). And let's not forget, DACA was tiptoeing on the legal issue too so legally, there is no difference between you guys and everybody else.
By your logic, politically, he would be better off had he not done DACA at all.
