Trump expected to announce end to Obama-era DACA, official says

The fate of DACA looms as the border wall debate heats up

President Trump, as early as Friday, is expected to announce plans to end the Obama administration program that gave a deportation reprieve to hundreds of thousands of young illegal immigrants, a senior administration official told Fox News.

Trump promised to terminate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, during the presidential campaign -- but since taking office had left the door open to preserving parts of it.

According to the official, Trump is expected to announce the program's end but will allow so-called “dreamers” currently in the program to stay in the U.S. until their work permits expire – which, for some, could be as long as two years.

The White House suggested Thursday afternoon, though, that Trump has yet to give the final sign-off. White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters at the daily briefing the program is still “under review.”

“A final decision on that front has not been made, and when it is, we will certainly inform everybody in this room,” she said.

The program was formed through executive order by then-President Barack Obama in 2012 and allows for certain people who came to the U.S. illegally as minors to be protected from immediate deportation.

Recipients are able to request “consideration of deferred action” for a period of two years which is subject to renewal.

WHAT IS DACA AND WHY WOULD TRUMP DISMANTLE IT?

The plan to allow DACA to lapse already has buy-in from conservative groups that want the president to end the program.

“Our position has been that President Trump should allow DACA to lapse,” Ira Mehlman from the Federation for American Immigration Reform told Fox News. “As people's two-year deferments and work authorization expire they should not be renewed.”

In an interview with ABC News this spring, the president earlier suggested he might not entirely do away with DACA.

“They shouldn’t be very worried,” Trump said of the young people in the program. “I do have a big heart.”

Democrats on Thursday expressed opposition to the move, referencing the president’s past comments.

“If he ends DACA, Trump would betray #DREAMers he said he'd treat w/ ‘great heart.’ These incredible young people make our country stronger,” tweeted Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, the 2016 Democratic vice presidential nominee.

This is great news. I bet Ann Coulter is ecstatic.

This is the wrong phrasing.

The right phrasing is that there was no legitimacy whatsoever to Obama's supposed executive order which purported to offer legal status to illegal aliens.

"Prosecutorial discretion" does not mean that the person not being prosecuted did not actually commit a crime. Obama had no authority to issue work permits to people under the supposed program. Any supposed work permit or other documentation issued to anyone ought to be considered null and void because it was issued without the legal authority to do so.

Is Trump a New York liberal Democrat today?

Just continuing to undo Obama's reckless executive orders. Now this will force congress to actually legislate and do something that becomes law. That's a good thing IMO.

So Trump's giving congress 60 days to do something. Excellent. Get these deadbeats to work on real immigration reform, or Dreamers go away. Think he'll get funding for his wall now? It also flushes out the RINO's because they'll have to declare which side of reform they are on.

So much winning.

This is actually a quite brilliant move. Primaries are just around the corner, so Trump is calling their bluff and now these Republicans will have to show us their cards. Are they pro-illegal or are the pro-American. Time to choose.
