There is a reason Obama issued the executive order. It's because congress did nothing and this was at least something. It's a sticking plaster with many flaws but without support for a path to citizenship and not wanting to kill them all out of the states the solution was this half-way house of at least getting them with proper documentation, a right to stay and work permits.
Does Trump want them to become citizens? Does he want them expelled? Or does he just want to have the same thing in effect but freed of Obama's name so it looks like he has done something?

He just wants to keep his supporters happy with the minimum effort required non his part. They won't follow the detail so will be happy.
