My guess is he will halt DACA, let our current work authorization expire. Is he going to replace DACA with something? Odds are, no. Unless Democrats win both house and senate in 2 years, which is also a daunting task considering young people do not vote in midterm elections and usually swing Republican. Let's hope CIR does happen under Republican dominance here in hopes that they can earn our vote, but there's going to be a lot of backlash within that base.

A different campaign is ran when you are trying to appeal to your base. Why do you think obama and the democrats promise immigration reform and then never come through. Because after you become president you have to appeal to a wider electorate to remain in power. All these crooked politicians are just worried about reelection and with trump filling his administration with the lobbyist republicans want him to add he is no different. Trump will be a puppet president controlled by Paul Ryan.
