President Trump does not have the legal authority to extend the Obama-era DACA deportation amnesty beyond the March 5 phaseout deadline he set, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Tuesday.
She said there are no plans to attempt it, and the Justice Department has said such exercise is unconstitutional.

Good. Send them all back.
DACA is unconstitutional too.
ONLY THE CONGRESS has the power to set immigration and naturalization policy...................
Trump wins just by following the law.
I imagine the Democrats will consider impeaching him for that.
Kick them ALL OUT! Seize their assets to help defray the costs. OUT!
Now if we could just find a way to send 535 or so Congress critters back...
“President Trump does not have the legal authority to extend the Obama-era DACA deportation amnesty beyond the March 5 phaseout deadline he set, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Tuesday.”
“She said there are no plans to attempt it, and the Justice Department has said such exercise is unconstitutional.”
This is Trump’s Homeland Security and Justice Dept saying this. OK. Whatever.
"From now on, our Department will not usurp Congresss job of making the rules. We will stick to enforcing them." -- Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein 11:13 AM - 5 Jan 2018
It's possible it related to the prior day's announcement of enforcing Federal marijuana laws, too.
Close down all the Mexican funded Immigration offices run by the Mexican Gov. advocates and Attorneys ....make them come back and forth to defend their people!

Actually what we’re really seeing is the Demorats fighting feverishly to retain their replacement voting block for the blacks who have supported Trump! Trumps simply letting the laws opposing their game work.
Rubbish. The reason it ends March 5, is because Trump extended it last year. Obama's daca ended last year. This is Trump's daca, the very one he said was unconstitutional during the election.
Notice that the Dems aren't saying boo about the hughest proposed changes to the immigration system.
Just take a minute and sit on that...A year ago Trump took office...enough said.
Congress gave the President some direct authority some time ago:
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

The "travel ban" is such an exercise of this power, which is why the court cases and their bans are such an outrage.
Yeh screw that Federal judge.
