House Speaker Paul Ryan on Friday gave a major boost to legislative efforts to preserve protections for young undocumented immigrants -- and urged President Donald Trump to not tear up the program.
Trump told reporters Friday he was still mulling the decision.
Responding
to a question about Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, on
his hometown radio station WCLO in Janesville, Wisconsin, Ryan said
Congress was working on a legislative fix to preserve the program.
"I actually don't think he should do that," Ryan said of Trump's
consideration of terminating the program. "I believe that this is
something that Congress has to fix."

During that time, if they earn a higher-education degree, serve in the
military or stay employed, they could apply for permanent residency and,
eventually, citizenship.
