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

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.

Personally pisses me off since I know so quite a few people who fall under DACA protection here in CA. More to the point it'd essentially be like shooting me off to Mexico, sure one might have family out there and know the language, but you might as well throw a dart at a map and send them there for how little they would have in the way of resources or knowledge of the place. Pick a random American citizen whose lived here all their life and send them to Mexico and you have virtually the same effect.
