I wager that this is just political posturing. This throws the onus back to Congress (where it should have been solved years ago) to actually pass legislation. If or when it fails, Trump can deflect blame onto the Senate Democrats, the media, and Senate republicans (in that order.)
If the best argument that you can come up with to wanting to deport productive, educated, employed taxpayers is that "they were brought here as children by their parents illegally!!!1!11!" It might just make more sense to give them a path to permanent residency.
Someone acting like unemployed Americans who already aren't filling numerous job vacancies and opportunities are just going to flock to these jobs, hell, even acting like these jobs will necessarily exist, is naive at best, dimwitted at second best.
The six month delayed enforcement is posturing to get a larger deal done. With trump holding the club. He should use the DACA people as a stick and ensure we get a tough immigration system with limits per country and a point system pushing top immigrants over low end.
If we do that then I would be fine giving the DACA people work privileges.
