I think it's more about staying in office; this isn't a particularly popular initiative throughout the country, but he needs to keep his base to have any shot. And either this is what his base wants, or this is what he perceives his base wants.

I can't believe any rational person would support this. Even my conservative, redneck kinfolk are appalled.

I think he's just really anti immigration and does anti-immigration things (after winning an election where he campaigned on being anti-immigration).

The guy is no strategist.

Once again Burt cuts right to the heart of it.

I think he's just really anti non-white immigration and does anti non-white immigration things (after winning an election where he campaigned on being an ignorant shithead that treats non-whites like dogshit).

The guy is a seasoned analrapist.

If they're married, doesn't that mean she can stay?

Really? All the posts that I see on facebook are people with American Flag and Jesus avatars saying, "Good! Send them back!"

The wacko is strong right now. You can't fight Satan.

LA Times wrote:President Trump’s decision to rescind a popular program that protected the most sympathetic of immigrants here illegally — those who were brought as children by their parents — poses a huge threat to his party, forcing Republican lawmakers to choose between the party’s nativist wing, which strongly opposes any move resembling amnesty, and those who favor a more flexible approach to minority communities.

The terms Trump set out give Republicans in Congress six months to pass a measure to protect those currently covered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA, which was enacted under executive authority by President Obama.

But Congress has been unable for years to come up with immigration reforms, in large part because of divisions within Republican ranks, which sank immigration reform efforts under Presidents Obama and George W. Bush.

The worst-case scenario for many GOP lawmakers: If Congress stalls again, next year’s midterm election campaigns could be accompanied by thousands of young people each week being fired from their jobs or kicked out of school, and ultimately by some being deported to countries they have not seen since they were toddlers.

Some Republican strategists fear that revoking DACA could repeat on a national scale the damage Republicans in California incurred by supporting Proposition 187. That 1994 measure aimed at immigrants living in the U.S. illegally turned the California party from one that was competitive, and often victorious, in statewide elections to nearly an afterthought, disdained not only by Latinos but many moderate white voters.

Countering those fears are warnings by other Republicans that legislation to renew DACA would be the biggest grant of amnesty to immigrants here illegally since the Reagan administration. Passage of a legalization bill by a Republican Congress would deeply alienate many conservatives, they argued. Already, some were critical of Trump for not canceling the program outright.
