Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., admitted Tuesday the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program was on “shaky legal ground.”

After Chuck Todd from MSNBC’s “Meet the Press Daily” asked her if DACA was legal, she responded that DACA was an executive order.

“Legal is the law of passage of something,” she said. “I, you know, there are ten attorneys general that are prepared to sue. I don’t want to get into that.”

“The point is, DACA is here. And we’ve got 800,000 young people who depend on it,” she added.

“Your answer indicates, though, that it’s on shaky legal ground,” Todd responded.

“It is. That’s why we need to pass a law. And we should do it,” Feinstein said.
