Here’s some good news on the DACA front with FEMA stepping in to assist:

Washington, DC – Over the past eight years the composition of migrants arriving at the U.S. southern border has significantly changed, shifting from mostly Mexican adults seeking work to large numbers of Central Americans—including families and children—seeking asylum. This paradigm shift has overwhelmed existing infrastructure several times now, leading to humanitarian emergencies, with migrants held in overcrowded, unsanitary conditions. In 2019, the Bipartisan Policy Center put forward a plan for an “immigration Federal Emergency Management Agency” that would be a flexible response-unit that could support the Department of Homeland Security’s mission and provide humanitarian services whenever and, more importantly, wherever a large unexpected increase in immigration occurs.
