DACA and Dreamers

DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, is a program that protects certain young immigrants from being deported. Created in 2012, DACA allows individuals who came to the United States as children to apply for temporary protection, which includes work permits and the ability to stay in the country without fear of deportation.

These young people, often referred to as 'Dreamers,' contribute to society in many ways, including attending school and working in various jobs, enriching the American community.
