Three years ago this week, President Obama announced that he would provide

administrative relief to millions of young people who came to the United States as
children and meet certain requirements.
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program allows
undocumented immigrants who are younger than 31 years of age as of June 15,
2012, and meet other criteria to apply to stay in the U.S. and receive work
authorization.
It was a hard-won victory for people who have only ever called the U.S. their
home. And we are already seeing how DACA allows recipients to continue
contributing to our country. In the first two years after implementation:
60% of DACA recipients obtained a new job
49% opened bank accounts
33% got their first credit card
57% got a drivers license
DACA is still available under the 2012 guidelines. You can learn how to apply
here or by downloading NCLRs Immigo app for free from iTunes or the Google
Play store.
Administrative relief translates into real benefits for the whole country, and it
ensures that we keep families together. On this third anniversary, lets guarantee
the promise of the American Dream by working to expand DACA and implement
its sister program, DAPA!
Sincerely,
Laura Vazquez
