It does seem a bit odd. I fear that Mr. Session's tenure as Attorney General may be running out.
So, President Trump (it is being said) plans to end DACA with a six month delay, passing the buck to Congress to 'fix' it. No blood on his hands.
To announce such, he plans to send out Mr. Sessions today to make the announcement. Well, he is Attorney General, so why not?
However, if the heat becomes too much for Mr. Trump, I can see him firing Mr. Sessions, with the implication that the DACA action was really Mr. Session's idea. Again, no blood on his hands.
After all, the rumors abound about Mr. Trump being disappointed in Mr. Sessions. If Mr. Trump is already planning to give Mr. Sessions his pink slip, might as well use him for one last job.
Personally I don't care who announces it. A declaration of war or something of the magnitude, I want the President to announce it. Ending DACA? Right there with changing tour hours at the White House.
The resources wasted on illegals are staggering, measured in the billions.

Exactly. Why is Jeff Sessions loyal to him again? Loyalty earns Trump's employees nothing, but they look like suckers defending him and doing his dirty work. Meanwhile, Trump's unpopular decisions get handed off to his underlings and when the American people resist his ideas, he just fires the employee, saying they came up with them in the first place. It's a brilliant strategy, actually.

Ending DACA is Sessions' idea. He is a rabid immigration foe and strongly opposed any practical solution to dealing with the millions of illegals that have been allowed to enter and remain the US over the years. Who better to deliver the news?
This semi-falls at the feet of Obama. He in 2011 spoke on this issue not being something he could do legally. Then 3 years later he did it..
Typically Repubs have to repair what Obama screwed up. Prior Presidents just overlooked the Dreamers and never made them an issue. Obama used them as a political ploy to further his agenda.
