The same presidential authority and legal reasoning for creating DACA can be used to expand it. False choice to say that by expanding it, we are forfeiting CIR. CIR is dead. They GAVE UP the chance to pass it, and it is my belief they knew it, and just did not give two flying monkeys about it.

As fas a passing DA only, we are five years too late for that. As I have written before, the votes were there for two years, an entire congress session, and it would have passed. Sen.Durbin requested it, Gutierrez fought it, Schmer played it, and the president sat back because he only cared for his re-election. Had they done it, we would now be soon eligible for citizenship. I was watching a news conference this am from the president about the exchange website - a f* website is monopolizing progress of any legislation for the remainder of this Congress. Wow. Apologies, finger-pointing, excuses, righ-wing fabrications, etc. It is just a website. The product (affordable healthcare) is AVAILABLE. If the website is down, and believe me, most Medicaid-expansion recipients could care less about the medium through which they can finally have decent insurance, then call the number and enroll by phone. Jesus, it is not the people who are hung up on this, it is the msm and Republicans.

As a healthcare worker, let me give you an example: How many of you who have had the chance to have health insurance and longtime doctors, make apptmt online? Most private practice physicians don't have an online apptm management portal - you have to call to make your doc's appointment. Well, this works the same. The Pres needs to go out there and make it a point that it is not different than calling a doctors' clinic and findind out which physician would be best for you (from the receptionist) or calling to set up your appointment.
