Come on man, Obama didn't come up with the idea of DACA. Here is the history of DACA.
Democrats in the House and Senate come up with the idea of DACA after they see Dream Act going nowhere in Congress. They presented it to Obama, and guess what, Obama initially thought he can't do DACA with executive power. He wanted to do it, but doubted the legality of the program and the backlash he would get.
The group of Democrats didn't give up and they even wrote an open letter to pressure Obama to do it. It's not even that long ago and a lot of the dreamers already forgot about how DACA started.
We get to have DACA because of Democrats in the House and Senate, not Obama alone and definitely not GOP
Also, how many Republicans in the Senate voted no in 2010?
