jonathan: right now at 4:00, 800,000 immigrants who arrived as children wonder what is president trump will do with daca. michelle: it stands for deferred action for childhood arrivals. supporters are arguing that the children shouldn't be punished for the parents' decision. nancy: it's supposed to be announced tomorrow. there is nothing they can the but wait and see. >> that is right. we don't know the details. it's an anxious wait. to my right, these two guys are canvassing the neighborhood. they work for casa in action and they are both dreamers who have taken advantage of daca. the only reason they say they have the job they have is because of daca and they fear they might lose that and they might lose the safety against deportation if it were a case where this was completely removed. so, they have been canvassing throughout the afternoon, talking to people about the upcoming election. they

become a big issue in if election. even at the state level, which is what they are canvassing for here. we still don't know with 100% certainty what the president is going to say tomorrow. what is expected he will announce at least a phase-out of the program that allows some people brought to the country illegally as children to stay in the country and get work permits. basically what we are hearing is likely to happen is he is likely to say he wants congress to pass a new law but he will phase out the program created by executive action by president obama. we asked one of the folks canvassing the neighborhood today who is only able to work because of this what it has done for him, the daca program? >> i can say within the front of my mind deportation because i was always living, not per se living in fear but i always knew it was a great possibility of happening. >> back out here live. again, you see the guys canvassing the neighborhood.

are dreamers. as far as the other side of this, there is a concern among some people that when dreamers are given work permits it may take jobs potentially away from people born in the united states. that is one of the arguments for getting rid of the daca program. another argument is a lot of folks in the trump administration feels it's unlikely to win in court anyway. the feeling is it is likely not to hold up because there is a feeling that president obama did when he created it may be considered unconstitutional. so by that logic congress has to do something anyway. we won't know for certain what the president's plan is until tomorrow. reporting live in lake ridge in prince william county, i'm tom roussey, abc7 news. michelle: stay with abc7 as we await the decision. you can expect live coverage right here along with the reaction and the fall-out that follows. also sign up for text alerts at wjla.com/text. if news breaks while you are away from the tv. also happening now, hurricane irma strengthening as it

caribbean. it's a category three major hurricane here. stormwatch7's meteorologist josh knight is tracking irma for us. josh, a lot of people wondering if it will affect us. it's a complicated forecast but what is latest guidance from the hurricane center? josh: complicated is the perfect word for it. but we have been tracking this since it was off the coast of africa so ideally nobody is surprised by it. anybody up and down the east coast, the gulf states and the islands have seen and heard about the storm. but exactly where it goes is up in the air. the storm now is 120-mile-per-hour winds. we will get another update at 5:00. based on the satellite imagery, i would not be surprised if it's bumped up to a category four. we are now 500 miles here from the islands and is it working in that direction. i want to talk about how the track changed in the last couple of days. the dominican republic and cuba, a

track. each time we have gotten a new one in last 24 to 36 hours it drops a little bit farther south. the trend is this storm is going to stay farther south. it's now looking like more of an issue for florida or even sneaking there over in the gulf. keeping a close eye on the system. if we see any impact it will be early next week like monday or tuesday. but the turn north is looking less likely. it's too soon for specifics so stay with us. i have a closer look at what could be a wet middle part of our week in a minute. jonathan: see you then. thanks. the path to recovery after hurricane harvey continues in texas and it will for a long time daw. ing task as -- a daunting task as 184,000 homes injured. many people are just getting back in their neighborhoods. reporter: homeowners cleaning out and the debris piling up. >> the furnitu,
