From reading the article, I would say he is trying to work within the system before he does an end around. He did not change positions and say he believes we should send the affected people back to their country of origin.  He has said he still supports them and believes Congress can get something passed in the next 6 months that would put into law a way to deal with this situation.  He has also said that if there is no progress he will resume these maneuvers. Where in the article did you get that he was either giving up or reneging?
