White House Chief of Staff John Kelly said that President Trump is not expected to extend the March 5 deadline when work permits will begin to expire for young immigrants known as “dreamers,” the Washington Post reports.
Kelly’s comments come as senators are trying to come up with a legislative solution for the dreamers and other aspects of the immigration system. Kelly also said he would recommend against Trump accepting a short-term legislative patch.
