William McGurn: The Cruelty of Barack Obama

"Perhaps, suggests [RealClearPolitics Washington Bureau Chief Carl] Cannon, a 'certain ex-president' is accusing Mr. Trump of cruelty 'to help us forget' that when he and other Democrats 'had the chance to grant 11 million immigrants access to the American dream, they instead chose, for partisan purposes, to keep them in the shadows.' Fair enough to criticize Mr. Trump and Congress for whatever they do going forward to clean up this mess. But let’s remember the Obama duplicity that created it." (Wall Street Journal)
