Here are a few of my major observations/insight on this:

- I actually think DACA can be defended in the courts. I am no lawyer but if Sessions isn't willing to fight it out..is there any possibility the DACA recipients or groups like ACLU can sue or get involved to keep it alive? I mean the thing has been running since 2012. It was never challenged like DAPA. That just sets a precedent in my opinion.

- After looking at the health care debacle, I am very disappointed and frankly am pessimistic about any type of law passing. I am afraid that the DEMOCRATS will not cooperate in order to keep Trump from having a "legislative victory."

- I hope the other AGs write a letter to Trump urging him to keep DACA alive. I'm a state employee myself. I almost feel like I should write to my AG to ask him to do this.

- Finally, I don't think DACA will be rescinded IF TRUMP holds his own and doesn't cave into the establishment..losers like Jeff Sessions. Imagine how he must be feeling right now having that letter in hand but not being able to do anything.
There must be a political motivation behind this move by these AGs, they could have filed this request earlier, now it's filed 2 weeks after DHS announced that DACA will remain in place. and the deadline date they picked. They definitely want to force the democrat to compromise on some issues.

Every politician knows that it's impossible to deport all of undocumented immigrants in US, because it will cause huge detrimental effect on US economy and create a lot of tragedy. It is not supported by vast majorities of Americans.

I think Republican is worried about if they approve an amnesty , most of the undocumented immigrant will become Democrat 's voters in the future.
