DACA Challenges

By Lesly Juarez Romero

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a temporary program implemented by President Obama in 2012. The program benefits immigrants brought to the United States as children. As of September 2021, there are over 600,000 active DACA recipients in the U.S. I had the opportunity to talk to three of them and highlight the benefits and limitations they are facing.
