Granted, it says something when the only people you can get to speak positively about Trump's decision to end DACA are a Nazi, some random "pastor," and crazy Steve King, but this example of "both sides" reporting is incredibly irresponsible. And what's worse, these opinions are treated equally with those who have spoken out against revoking DACA, including Bernie, Hillary, Tim Cook, etc.

(CNN)Reaction to reports that President Donald Trump plans to end a program protecting undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children from deportation sparked a backlash on Sunday.
Trump is expected to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that protects so-called "Dreamers" from being forced out of the country, four sources familiar with the decision told CNN.

In support of ending DACA
Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, said on Twitter that ending DACA would give "chance 2 restore Rule of Law."
Trump supporter Pastor Mark Burns tweeted that DACA was unconstitutional. "Americans should be 1st," he said.
Alt-right founder and white nationalist Richard Spencer tweeted that Trump's reported move was a "great start." "But ending #DACA becomes meaningless if it's part of a deal for amnesty or immigration increase," he said.
Those wanting DACA to continue
"If Trump decides to end DACA, it will be one of the ugliest and cruelest decisions ever made by a president in our modern history," Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, tweeted. "Taking legal protections away from 800,000 young people raised in this country is absolutely counter to what we stand for as a nation."

They do not know of the constitution of which they speak.

Zucker and CNN did their level best to Normalize Trump and his merry band of Grifters.
Appears Comcast and their entities as well as CNN want a new w.edge visual and that being the NAZI's
