And again you keep mentioning the 2012 DACA - that was already enacted so whatever they did for that after the fact doesn't mean that it would work for this particular case.

If tomorrow or a month from now Obama adds this to the federal register and all of a sudden the 5th circuit magically says "oh well, that's all we were waiting for Mr. President!" and Hanen comes out and says "That's all I ever wanted! Welcome to America old Dreamers and old parents!" I'll eat my words, but I think a lot of you armchair immigration lawyers and federal judges are simplifying this too much.
