What is DACA and how has it protected children?
According to this article on AS, by Maite Knorr-Evans
“Immigration reform has been talked about at the federal level for decades, yet Congress has done very little to fix the country’s broken system.
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA has it is more commonly known, is an immigration policy that protects many who came to the United States illegally as children from deportation. Immigrants who came to the United States as children are called DREAMers. DREAMers are nurses, soldiers, teachers who contribute to society and, before DACA, lived under constant fear or separation. For many DREAMers, the United States is the only country they have ever known.
While DACA does not protect children, rather adults who migrated as children, the Center for American Progress found that the average DREAMer protected under DACA “arrived in the United States in 1999, at age 7,” with more than a third arriving before the age of five.”
