The thing to watch will be if there is any change to the expedited removals category. Right now it includes recent arrivals, which I think is who he was referring to when he said

I believe that rapidly processing and returning aliens to their countries of origin in significant numbers will help to immediately and significantly reduce the number of individuals and groups trying to enter the country illegally, he said. It will not be worth the investment of their life savings to get here, and it will not be worth making the dangerous trip north, if they know they will quickly be put on a bus or aircraft and returned south.

Unless DACA recipients are placed into an expedited removal category I think we might be fine. Right now immigration court is swamped with 500,000 cases which take several years each. If you add 750,000 DACA cases on top of that then we're looking at several years before we even get a MASTERS hearing and several more until we get a final decision. Easily enough time to outlast a Trump presidency, assuming he is a one term president and the Dems get their act together in time. And remember, the whole time you have a case pending with immigration court, you are entitled to a work permit.
