- Summary:
- "The establishment of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was enacted in 2012 by President Barack Obama via executive order. It was created to shield eligible undocumented young people from the threat of deportation for a two-year renewable period. It also allows them obtain a social security number and a driver's license, work legally, and qualify for in-state college tuition in their state of residence. It does not, however, offer participants a path to citizenship. Despite the help DACA has given Dreamers, because the program was established via executive order rather than legislative action, some Americans believe it is unconstitutional"-- Provided by publisher.
