DACA recipients will be used by Republicans to bargain with congressional Democrats for tax reform, building a border wall, etc. I live in New York City and studied in college with many Dreamers, but when Obama created the Executive Order he knew it was temporary. It has always been the duty of Congress to pass an official law to make Dreamers citizens or permanent residents. The office of the POTUS does not hold the power. Overall, even though Dreamers' lives are a bit upended right now, the bright side is at least now they will finally have a lasting, legal decision made by Congress within the next 6 months. Or else, they are deported. Since Dreamers will most likely become Democratic voters, it is in the best interest of the Democrats in Congress right now to pass legislation to clarify their legal status once and for all.
