The Trump administration has approved tens of thousands of temporary amnesties for illegal immigrant Dreamers, according to numbers released Thursday that underscore a major reversal for President Trump.
The decision has enraged the president’s conservative base, which hoped he would make good on his promise to revoke the policy, known in governmentspeak as DACA. But immigrant rights advocates, who were harshly critical of Mr. Trump during the campaign, said he deserves some credit for defying his right wing and keeping the program intact.
“I definitely think that he does deserve credit for continuing a very successful program for young people who grew up here,” said Cesar Vargas, a Dreamer who is now a practicing lawyer.
Mr. Trump appears to be maintaining the pace of the Obama administration, with more than 17,000 new two-year amnesties and more than 107,000 renewal applications approved from Jan. 1 to March 30. Both numbers are comparable to the final full three months of President Obama’s tenure.

Simply pointing out that DACA is still operating as it did under Obama does not make me a neverTrumper.
Refusing to acknowledge that he has broken a promise makes you a fool.
Rave on, if you think it helps keep your hair curled, but Hispanic kids in college are not going anywhere, like it or not. Trump will negotiate a fair deal for them in the manner I said upthread.
Anything stupidly heartless hands the presidency over to Kamela Harris and Bernie Sanders.
These college kids getting shipped out to cartel world is not the hill Trump wants to die on and he shouldn’t have to. Just to please the nuts among us. No sale.
We have 60 million illegals and their demon spawn anchor babies to deport.
If that task is not undertaken, America is finished.
These are demoncrat voters. The reason why Hillary won any states at all.
Heartless? GfY.
These college kids getting shipped out to cartel world is not the hill Trump wants to die on and he shouldn’t have to. Just to please the nuts among us. No sale.

If honest, college kids don’t have to go anywhere. why do honest blue-collar workers have to go anywhere? Or do you only need a box of Kleenex when we are discussing people who get salaried positions?
This country voted against people who think like you. We tried it your way for a long time, and even granted amnesty under Ronaldus Magnus. Sorry, Sweetie, we aren’t kidding this time. If Trump wants to be a one-termer, then backstabbing his supporters on THE single biggest issue that got him elected is the best strategy.
I agree. A great mistake to cater to the entitled Dreamers. They should all be deported. Period.
When TRUMP was campaigning, we were under siege, at 65,000 + per year. It was outrageous and nothing short of an invasion, orchestrated by Obama to destroy us. Possibly, 20 million by some estimates, during 8 years of Obama.
These are the 20 million who must go. These invaders are the issue that got TRUMP elected.
Oh Nooooos I can’t be on your list.
