( darya ) this morning more than a dozen states are trying to stop the trump administration from ending the daca program.( mark ) andrew spencer has the details. when announcing the creation of the daca program in june 2012, then-president barack obama said he was acting in the absence of legislation -- and he blamed congressional republicans for the impasse. president barack obama, june 2012: "democrats passed the dream act in the house, but republicans walked away from it. it got 55 votes in the senate, but republicans blocked it."now, democratic lawmakers may have gained an unexpected new ally in president donald trump.after blind-siding republicans by cutting a deal with top democrats on a short-term debt-ceiling increase, trump suggested he would again work with senate minority leader chuck schumer and house

minority leader nancy pelosi in the future -- on a legislative replacement for daca.voice of president donald trump: "chuck and nancy would like to see something happen, and so do i, and i said if we can get something to happen, we're gonna sign it, and we're gonna make a lot of happy people."while trump has said he'll reconsider the daca repeal, if congress doesn't act -- he says he doesn't expect he'll need to. he boasted that even some very conservative members of congress are on board with passing new protections for dreamers.this week, obama joined a chorus of criticism, calling trump's decision to rescind daca "cruel" and "self- defeating."but even at the outset of his policy, obama hoped daca would not last forever.president barack obama, june 2012: "it's not a permanent fix. this is a temporary stop-gap measure." president barack obama, june 2012: "these kids deserve to plan their lives in more than two-year increments."...but by halting all new applications and curtailing status extensions, the announcement this week has already put many dreamers in limbo.spencer, reporting ( darya ) a bay area dreamer who is a p-h-d

candidate at u-c berkeley is worried he will be deported if daca is not replaced. arturo fernandez is in his fifth year of the p-h-d program at cal. he says daca is the reason he was able to enroll. his parents came to the u-s from mexico when he was just three years old. now he says he fears he could be deported in 6- months if congress doesn't step in.
