DACA by the Numbers
Since 2012, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) has helped nearly 800,000 young people who came to the United States as children work legally, get driver’s licenses, pursue a college education, and lead their lives without the constant threat of deportation. To build on these gains, Congress should pass the Dream Act now so that all Dreamers have the opportunity to fully contribute in the American economy and to their local communities.
