Paul Ryan Says Trump Should Not End Protections For Dreamers

 
By Elise Foley

WASHINGTON ― House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said Friday that President Donald Trump should not terminate a program protecting young undocumented immigrants who come to the U.S. as children, even though he and other Republicans have repeatedly tried to end it in Congress.

“I actually don’t think he should do that,” Ryan said concerning reports that Trump will end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which the could be killed as soon as Friday. “I believe that this is something that Congress has to fix.”

Trump is expected to soon announce a decision on DACA, which has allowed nearly 800,000 so-called “dreamers” to receive two-year work permits and deportation reprieve. Attorneys general from 10 states threatened the president with legal action if he doesn’t terminate the program by Sept. 5, and there were reports on Thursday that he plans to do so, although the White House has said it is still under review.
