Just like they didn't make a big deal with DACA first started. It is bad PR to be against DACA. The average Trump voter most likely never heard of DACA.

Yet it seems people are discounting all that and still freaking out like nothing positive has been shifted in our favor since the election. Sometimes we have to try our best to keep a hopeful attitude in our shitty situation.

This.
I think the taboo of taking away a type of humanitarian relief will be too strong for Trump and the repubs to attempt it.
I am not naive in thinking it will never be taken away and that we will definitely be safe no matter what...but IMO I think DACA beneficiaries at least will somehow transition to status in the USA sooner than we thought.
