Pardon my ignorance but why is a Secretary's memo/approval required to rescind DACA. I thought an Executive Order could be overturned via Executive Order.

Not sure what the premise of this story is. The best I can assume...just because something is illegal doesn't mean it is wrong. Interesting. I'll use this line the next time a customs agent asks for my passport at a foreign airport.

Is that because we are unable to have a rational, objective, dispassionate discussion of the issue? Of the creative pluses that a few talented immigrants bring? Of the role of compassion in policy?

The current DACA people ARE US Citizens period; and must be given that designation. Any Children born to Officially accepted Women as LEGAL immigrants are also Citizens at birth; others, who are not LEGALLY accepted, and who have children, they and their Childfren are Not.
