Trump: DACA 'probably dead' because of Democrats
By Mallory Shelbourne - 01/14/18 08:31 AM EST

President Trump said Sunday that the program protecting immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children is “probably dead,” placing the blame on Democrats.

“DACA is probably dead because the Democrats don’t really want it, they just want to talk and take desperately needed money away from our Military,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

Mr. Trump is hinting about the writing on the wall.
I hope he's right, and I hope he doesn't back down.

Wherever and whenever you hear "daca" or "dreamers"...
...think:
AMNESTY.

And then just say no!

Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

DACA dead? Hardly.  The GOP needs to come up with a bill to END Bammy's orders on Dreamers, pass it and have Trump sign it.  Otherwise unless this issue is resolved, the next time the DEMS gains control (which could be as early as 2019), they'll make DACA permanent and they won't stop until AMNESTY is granted to the 20,000,000+ illegals that are here.

Based on some of Trump's changing positions (day one immediate repeal, dreamers don't need to worry, fix must be bill of love), they may be willing to call the March 6th bluff.  That would end permit issue or renewal.  There's nothing in DACA requiring immediate deportation for people with no/expired permits.  Trump would have to instruct DHS and ICE to do so.  Theoretically, they could remain 'in the shadows.'

The sooner he sh*tcans DACA the better. We'll be rid of the democrats repugnant pretense, 'Dreamers', and he'll get a political bump as well.

Keep em' guessing !!! They might have had a deal, but they got cocky and added chain migration,cut back the wall,  skipped selective locations based on people (no s-hole people), so the deal is probably off and he blames the dems.

Yes, but if it expires, that leaves some with permits for up to 2 years, others with shorter terms, and a group with none.  He could extend it again, but that would be unpopular with his base.  He could recind all permits, but seems reluctant to do so.  I think they believe they have him cornered, which is why they bring lousy terms.

We may know more of what he's thinking in 15 days if nothing progresses by the SOTU.  After that, there's 35 days until DACA ends.  They may dare him to do something just to have the campaign issue.  If he does, they run ads from spring to fall, playing to their base what 'a mean, heartless SOB he is.'  If he does nothing, his base gets pissed.  I think they're fine with either outcome.
