Even a “permanent” legal status for DACA should be rejected because Trump has broad discretion in how he would administer the plan. Short of granting permanent residence and broad amnesty, DACA kids will stay in limbo.
In limbo under presidents like those since 1980 isn’t a big deal. Under Trump, it’s a guaranteed hostage situation.
A permanent solution to DACA is worth a trade but it shouldn’t be a path to citizenship. It should literally be instant citizenship for all of them the day the bill is signed. It should also be more broad and include other people who are already in the US and haven’t already been found guilty of violent felonies. If they are here now and commit a violent crime in the future then so be it. They’re American now.
