Why Did Trump End DACA In The First Place?..... [View all]

I understand - based on Morning Joe - that Trump ended DACA in September. Why did he do that considering he's at times since then talked glowingly of the Dreamers?

He created the situation we are now in. This could have been avoided and we could have only been talking about comprehensive immigration reform and not involved the DACA people as that aspect of this was taken care of.
