Trump expected to halt Obama’s program but allow some Dreamers to stay temporarily

WASHINGTON
President Donald Trump is expected to end an Obama-era program that shielded young people from deportation, but he will likely let the immigrants known as Dreamers stay in the United States until their work permits run out, according to multiple people familiar with the policy negotiation.

That plan would allow Trump to fulfill a campaign promise to end one of Barack Obama’s signature initiatives while also giving the president a way to keep the pledge he made after Inauguration Day to treat the Dreamers with “great heart,” said sources on both sides of the issue who are involved in the discussions.

An announcement could come as soon as Friday, just days before a deadline imposed by 10 states that threatened to sue the U.S. government if it did not stop protecting people brought into the country illegally as children.

Advocacy groups that want to preserve the program are urging the White House to ask those states — led by hurricane-ravaged Texas — to postpone their Tuesday deadline. A delay would give those groups more time to negotiate, and it could give Trump the space to avoid making a major policy announcement while his administration is eager to remain focused on hurricane recovery efforts.

But the president is under intense pressure to move quickly to end the program — called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or, more commonly, DACA — from groups that supported his candidacy because of his pro-deportation immigration position and his promise to end this particular program on his first day in office.

Let us stay until our permits run out and then what? Deport us?

Is this the great heart?

What a great heart, allow us to slowly go back into the shadows. Thanks Father Trump.

Alright, enough of the panicking. They clearly said "as it is today". This could mean many things including age restrictions, new requirements, grandfathering without issuing new permits or it will be pashed out. Again, we don't know but there's still a window for hope. I said this on the previous post.

That's not great heart just letting the permits expire.

You guys are jumping the gun... While it seems like this is it... Others are saying, as it currently exists... Fox news Twitter...

Ok, in regard to this thread and the previous thread, the news is just incoherent. If he wanted to end the damn program, he would have already announced it. If this is a leak, aren't we already fucked? All this shit just does not make any sense. We have been hearing the same damn rumor for weeks now. "Expected" or "Could be expected." All of you, just wait until Trump comes out and makes an announcement. For all we know, this official who leaked this probably a cuck like that squidword looking motherfucker.
