President Trump Said DACA Recipients 'Have Nothing to Worry About.' That's Not Exactly True

http://time.com/4931516/daca-donald-trump-tweet-worry/
President Trump sought to reassure people brought to the United States illegally as children Thursday, but his statement was vague.

<Snip>

• Trump gave no details. It's unclear what Trump means by "no action." Administration talking points distributed on Tuesday said clearly that DACA recipients should "prepare for and arrange their departure" or apply for other immigration benefits they could be eligible for.

• Some could be subject to deportation. Without valid documents, recipients are not lawfully in the U.S. and could be subject to Deportation. The Department of Homeland Security has said generally, information DACA recipients provided to the government won't be "proactively provided" to Immigration and Customs Enforcement or Customs and Border Protection for enforcement, but it does not say that none will.

• For some, there is no protection. The Administration is no longer accepting new enrollees as of Sept. 5. So, those who are newly qualified or were about to apply for the program do not have access to the protection it provided.

• Extensions have to be filed soon. Those whose documents are set to expire sometime in the next six months only have until Oct. 5 to apply to apply to have them renewed. That could be tough for those who don't have money at hand for the $495 fee.

So I suspect she is trying to box him on Congressional action for DACA.
