Exploring Daca As A Super Program For America

By Marylou Forbes


Initiated by the American homeland security secretary, Mrs. Janet, the program is Deferred Action for the Child Arrivals. This is a memorandum billed by the Barrack Obama administrative team, and called daca, from the 15th of June in 2012. It is principally a direction to Custom Borders and Protection unit, Immigration Services and the immigration Customs Enforcement in an effort to exercise prosecutorial discretion to immigrants who moved to the Americas as very young children and yet are not documented up to the present.

The immigrations service is meant to develop very clear and effective processes in exercising discretion in prosecution for specific cases, where they defer prosecution against any individuals who meet criteria and are younger than 15 years. They should be granted employment authorization that is renewable in order to efficiently prevent any low priority individuals from placement in removal proceedings and even being deported from the United States.

On 2012 August, the USCIS released special forms which are necessary in applying for the program. Personages must not have any legal representation for them to apply, and thus may just submit the applications directly to USCIS. The application fees are $465, the $380 is for processing while $85 is for the biometric analysis.

ICE as well is directed to utilize office of public advocate in granting permission to persons who are sure they match up to the aforementioned criteria and can identify themselves through clear and efficient processes. In addition to that, the ICE, has been asked to begin deferring actions for individuals who have met the criteria set and have cases which have already been identified in the ongoing review process for pending cases. This is meant to be done before reviewing the executive office of Immigration.

To prove that one came to U. S before their 16th birthday, they need a passport with an admission stamp, their school records of all US schools one has attended, proof of immigration or naturalization services, travel records and health record papers.

Those who succeed to be chosen are usually picked on a simple case basis. Amazingly, the major relief to these beneficiaries is the receipt of a direct two-year deportation reprieve. In most cases, applicants requiring economic relief will receive work authorization instead. Though this application may be renewed we may not know how long its effectiveness will last and more because it is only given a two-year increment projection. Unfortunately, it does not provide citizenship to any young undocumented immigrants.

The Institute of Migration Policy has estimated 1.76 million people will benefit from the new policy by Obama. However, some situations show different guidelines on the same. Of all the inhabitants, only about 72% can meet the required minimum age of 15 plus. The other 28% fall under 15years. This forces them to await their eligibility to apply for the same. Also, about 351,000 young adults who have not completed secondary school or at least attained a GED may still apply so long as they are sure to re-enroll before the date they intend to send their applications.

On a broader perspective, potential eligible youth immigrants may be distributed around the States. Texas, California, Florida, Illinois and New York are the main five states with the highest number of these potential beneficiaries. 74% of these qualified populations were born in Mexico or the Central America.
