SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, President Trump's recent decision to
end the unconstitutional DACA program has received unfair criticism by
the liberal media. When reporting on President Trump's decision to end the DACA program,
outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and CBS all
included former President Obama's criticism of the announcement. What
is not being reported is that then-President Obama stated over 20 times
before issuing DACA that executive amnesty is an overstep of executive
authority and is unconstitutional. To use former President Obama's criticism of the termination of DACA
without also noting that he, himself, considered DACA unconstitutional
is biased reporting designed to promote a pro-amnesty agenda. It is no
wonder that the media's credibility with the American people is now at
a record low.
