Fox News Host Shoots Down Possibility Congress Will Fix DACA In Six Months
When asked if Congress could fix DACA in six months, Harris Faulkner, with a dour expression on her face told her "Outnumbered" panelists that if a Republican controlled Congress couldn't pass repeal and replace what chance does this have.
The constant refrains that one hears on Fox News was that Trump was very kind to end DACA for those kids and young adults because he has such a big heart.
And since he believes in the rule of law for all Americans, what Trump did to the Dreamers is a hugely merciful favor.
Or, President Obama is to blame because he didn't pass immigration reform the two years he had a majority in both houses.
Co-host Kennedy railed on Obama because of this and also called his action on DACA, unconstitutional.
Kennedy said that Congress had multiple whacks at the pinata of immigration reform for years and years and opined, "The only real chance they had was in 2009 and 2010 when they had both houses of Congress and the presidency. That's when President Obama should have tackled immigration reform, not on his own through this fiat executive order."
Kennedy, like all of Fox News forgets that in 2013, the Senate did pass their own immigration bill, but the Republican controlled House led by Speaker Boehner refused to vote on it.
