Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : And Mr. Mazzara said the court should follow its own precedent and apply its ruling against DACA to the entire nation.
49% : The Supreme Court has never ruled definitively on the legality of DACA itself -- though the 5th Circuit has ruled, finding the program skirted the law.
43% : "DACA covers illegal immigrant "Dreamers" who came to the U.S. before age 16 -- usually brought by parents -- who have kept a relatively clean record and who have worked toward an education.
39% : He was skeptical of Texas's claim of legal injury, saying the Supreme Court's 2023 case that found Texas didn't have standing to challenge Homeland Security's immigration enforcement priorities means the state may not have standing to challenge DACA, either.
36% : After repeatedly saying he lacked the power to do something like DACA, Mr. Obama reversed himself and announced the program amid the 2012 presidential campaign, as he was struggling to keep Hispanic voters in his camp.
35% : It introduced evidence that if DACA were to disappear, a significant chunk of those covered by the program would leave the country on their own.
