I am still very disappointed in how this turned out, but thankful that the courts have decided in our favor for now. At least it gives us some time to renew and figure out our own path to permanent status.

The Courts could have waited. The rulings were done on purpose. Political games all around

Only 2 - 3 months? I thought we have more time than that.

Isn't the Supreme Court just ruling on Trump ending DACA and not on DACA itself?

I know a lot of you don't want to hear it but any deal that would have been passed would have majorly screwed over other immigrants so perhaps this is for the best. Everything is on ice (not ICE) for now and the November elections. If there is a major ass kicking and Republicans lose the house and senate then maybe Trump will see the writing on the wall and the Democrats will have real leverage.

If the Blue Wave doesn't happen, we will be screwed with more partisan bickering and nothing get done for another few years. A lot of dreamers will be entering their 40s at the point.

Then it was the role of the bitch ass congressional Democrats to grow some balls and force a better deal. But, no. They are the biggest bitches on planet earth.

You know whats so funny.

When the California judge issued that injunction, I was super pissed off...IMO at the time, it seemed like a political ploy engineered by the Dems to indirectly take away urgency from the DACA debate so they can piggyback off of the Republicans "See it isn't urgent anymore" rhetoric...and this way they could keep DACA as a political football.

But now looking back, it just seemed I was probably looking a gift horse in the mouth.

LOL, what that judge did is a blessing right now...
