"President Trump has no immediate plans to use his executive powers to undo the Obama administration’s order that protects some young illegal immigrants known as “dreamers,” White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus made clear Sunday, in previewing the new administration’s first full week.

“I think we’re going to work with the House and Senate leadership, as well as to get a long-term solution on that issue,” Priebus told “Fox News Sunday.” “I'm not going to make any commitments to you, but … I'm obviously foreshadowed there a little bit.”

Immigration advocates had warned since essentially the start of the 2016 presidential race that Trump, if elected, would crack down on illegal immigration.

To be sure, Trump won the race on a platform that included vows to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to keep out illegal immigrants.  

But many already in the country and others have expressed greater concerns about Trump undoing President Obama's 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals executive action that defers deportation for an estimated 700,000 illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents -- and known as "dreamers."

He already said he wasn't going to do that...so more like no news.

Didn't he say he was going to unsign all "unconstitutional orders" on day one?

He said alot of things, but his initial views of kicking out all illegals changed later on during the campaign and when asked about it he said he's only talking about the criminals. But it's all part of the fear mongering and demonizing we're seeing these days everybody trying to spook everybody out for no good reason.

I think Trump wants to talk to the Congress first (he actually likes to talk to them, even those from the other side).  Makes sense, he is not an emperor with a pen.

To be honest though given the number of opinions/statements Trump changed during the campaign, can you really blame people for being worried? He said a lot of stuff early on that he has sense "softened" on, but I can't blame people for remember what he originally said. At the very least it just creates uncertainty since how does anyone know he will stick to his most recent statement vs. a prior one vs. some idea that pops into his head tomorrow? When you aren't consistent, it creates uncertainty. I think that is fair.

I think that a lot of it is taking time to think vs rage tweeting and responses.  He has advisors and isn't just acting without consulting.

He also likes to talk to himself. Telling himself that he alone can fix the system.

I don't understand...I am trying to follow the rules to migrate...and now the Trump team is saying illegals are not a priority?

This was in his platform.

No.  He's saying THESE illegals aren't his priority.  The ones not brought here by choice.
