Trump at war with himself over 'Dreamers'
Administration officials say he's conflicted between his instinct to be tough on immigration and his personal feelings.

President Donald Trump often bristles at the constraints imposed on him by his aides, yet when it comes to Obama-era protections for young undocumented immigrants, he is at war with himself.
The president has waffled between his campaign pledge to kill the policy known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, and his sympathy for the nearly 800,000 people whose lives could be upended if it’s repealed, aides say.
As an unofficial Sept. 5 deadline looms, there are growing signs that Trump will decide to phase out the program. But administration officials say he remains conflicted, trying to find a middle ground that balances his instinct to be tough on immigration and his personal feelings.
Trump’s final decision could drastically change the lives of the country’s “Dreamers.” Participants in the program — which permits some people who were brought to the United States as children to live and work in the country temporarily — worry they could lose their jobs or be subject to possible deportation if the program is suddenly ended.
DACA critics say Trump’s sympathy for Dreamers shouldn’t sway his decision. “Having sympathy for people who were brought here as children is not at all inconsistent with the acknowledgment that the DACA program is just absurdly unconstitutional. Those two things are not contradictory,” said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, a group that favors lower levels of immigration.

keep quoting Krikorian from CIS or any other members of CIS, FAIR, NumbersUSA (I believe all founded by the same dude John Tanton who is a white nationalist) who have been designated as hate groups by SPLC.
