Trump will have something for DACA

December 8, 2016 by Thomas Geygan

Ethnic Business TeamDonald Trump is adopting a softer tone on young undocumented immigrants granted work permits through an Obama-era directive, DACA, that the president-elect has vowed to repeal once he’s in the White House.

740,000 Here on DACA

Some 740,000 so-called Dreamers have been given a deportation reprieve and other benefits by President Barack Obama through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which Obama enacted by executive action in 2012. But the status of those young immigrants, who do not have formal legal status, has been in limbo because Trump has said he would overturn Obama’s immigration orders.

In an interview with Time magazine announcing him as “Person of the Year,” Trump didn’t go into specifics but signaled that he could accommodate the Dreamers.
“We’re going to work something out that’s going to make people happy and proud,” Trump told the magazine. “They got brought here at a very young age, they’ve worked here, they’ve gone to school here. Some were good students. Some have wonderful jobs. And they’re in never-never land because they don’t know what’s going to happen.”
The interview notes that the president-elect did not back off his promise from the campaign trail to rescind Obama’s executive actions. And without details, it’s difficult to divine what policy Trump would support once he is sworn in and has to face this issue.
His selection for attorney general, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), is also a staunch opponent not only of Obama’s executive actions on immigration but of legalizing those who are in the United States illegally.

Congress is working to save those on DACA

A bipartisan group of senators is working on legislation meant to keep the status of the DACA beneficiaries intact should Trump follow through on his pledge and repeal Obama’s executive actions. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-I’ll.), one member leading the effort, said last week that more details of the plan could be rolled out at the end of this week.
