Via Drudge: President Donald Trump’s move to end a program that protects young, undocumented immigrants sets up a six-month scramble among Republicans who want to save the protections, others who want to kill them and still others who hope to use the program’s future as a bargaining chip for other goals such as funding for the proposed border wall with Mexico.
With an announcement scheduled for Tuesday, Mr. Trump is expected to delay the program’s termination for as long as six months, two White House officials said, to give Congress time to approve legislation that would achieve the same goals.
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, offers two-year permits that provide safe harbor from deportation and the chance to work legally. Under the likely administration plan, existing permits would still be good until their expiration dates, and those whose permits are expiring in the next six months would have the chance to renew them for two years, according to one person familiar with the planning. But after the six-month delay, no new permits or renewals would be issued.

This makes NeverTrumpers show themselves right before primary season.
Songbird, Grahamnesty, and the rest of the castrati are already screaming.
Who's "Songbird?"
We need a contempt-name clearinghouse. Also, some of these should not make the cut. I include some of the ones I made up.
A brilliant move on the part of Trump/Sessions. This is how these two have resolved their differences in terms of Sessions recusing himself on the Russia investigation. Now, Sessions gives a six-month reprieve for congress to make DACA constitutional. That's what the scumbags in congress are screaming about. Because now they will actually have to address, discuss, debate, and come up with a plan and show their cards.
Trump/Sessions just penned them in on the immigration issue. Now, the focus will be on Congress and away from Trump because all Trump has to say is, "Get me a constitutional DACA bill and I'll sign it." or veto it if it isn't right. Watch the Kabuki theater on this. It will be delicious.
Songbird is the name bestowed on John McCain by many of the guys in the Hanoi Hilton.
Details here and elsewhere.
It's why Trump said during the campaign he should not be regarded as a hero.
If you Google the word Songbird with a space afterward, one of the choices is songbird of hanoi.
PS I don't use a lot of made-up names (some, yes). Many (Ozark Mafia, Hildabeast, etc.) are part of the political lexicon.
