White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly said Tuesday that President Trump is not expected to extend the March 5 deadline when work permits will begin to expire for young immigrants known as “dreamers.”

“I doubt very much” Trump would extend the program, he said.

Kelly told reporters at the Capitol that he was “not so sure this president has the authority to extend it” because the original program protecting the immigrants was not based on law.

Kelly’s comments come as senators are trying to come up with a legislative solution for the dreamers and other aspects of the immigration system. Kelly also said he would recommend against Trump accepting a short-term legislative patch.

The White House rejected a new plan Monday from Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Christopher A. Coons (D-Del.) that would grant permanent legal status to dreamers and bolster security along the U.S.-Mexico border. But the new legislation stops short of authorizing the $25 billion to $30 billion that Trump and conservative Republicans want for border security construction projects.

I wonder if they’re still hopeful they’ll get some of the items from their framework. Because at this point it’s clear that’s what they care about.

It is reinstated actually, it was reinstated by the California judge, and if Trump wanted to he could easily drop the SCOTUS lawsuit in court and give it a new deadline. But that is definitely not going to happen.
