Jamelle Bouie: Trump Will Continue to Leave DACA Recipients in a State of Limbo

‘I find it hard to imagine that the president will be that broken up if Congress can’t come up with a DACA deal’

RUSH EXCERPT:
BOUIE: "My hunch, too, if you go back to the administration’s immigration policy less about mass deportation, just isn’t feasible more about creating fear of deportation for newer and larger groups of undocumented immigrants. Pulling back DACA does that, pulling back temporary protection status does that, in the absence of any sort of deal on immigration, my hunch is that the administration will continue forward with this approach. Allowing DACA recipients to remain in this limbo state where they are. And given that the sort of immigration policy drivers within the administration want this, have no problem with this, I find it hard to imagine that the president will be that broken up if Congress can’t come up with a DACA deal."
