White House discussing whether DACA deadline can be moved

Washington (CNN)The Trump administration is looking at whether the state attorneys general who are pushing for a decision on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program would be willing to extend their deadline of September 5 for action from Trump, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Trump is weighing his options on the protections for the nearly 800,000 young undocumented immigrants under DACA, which gave young people who had come to the United States illegally as children the chance to work and study in the country without fear of deportation.

One source told CNN that White House chief of staff John Kelly is among those officials advocating for such a delay to make a decision on what to do with the Obama-era program.

But the sources did not say whether Trump will listen to Kelly on the issue as he has come under tremendous pressure from inside the White House and from outside groups to end the DACA program.
Sources on the Hill increasingly believe Trump is leaning toward ending renewals and new applicants to the program, and a source familiar has said the White House is considering that option.
Hill sources say they don't expect a DACA fix to emerge right away when Congress reconvenes next month, even if Trump scraps the program immediately before they return.
CNN's Daniella Diaz, Tal Kopan, Lauren Fox and Deirdre Walsh contributed to this report.

I think there's more pressure not to end the program, hence why they are delaying. Ending renewals and new applicants sounds like basically ending the program, but allowing our current EAD to expire. This is recycled news!

so what does a delay do? Allow them to prepare a bill?

I hope they don't push the deadline. Make a call Trump. You had 8 months to make your mind and big heart!

I think that's what they're trying to to. Right now Congress has to approve the money for Hurricane relief. Trump probably wants Dreamer relief to be added to wall funding so he doesn't want to cancel DACA right now but later on when Hurricane relief is complete so they can start working on Dreamer/Wall funding compromise.

and what does a relief mean?

Those of us who expire in less than 3 months do.

Too bad the democrats don't want to make us 'bargaining chips'

Something like the Bridge Act, basically DACA but done through Congress or possibly the Dream Act but stricter.

Yes

If they were planning to cancel daca they would have done it already

Good news
