Childhood Arrivals and Undocumented Migrants

daca: We've heard a lot about DACA, which stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, according to Rabble. To recap -- Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals DACA is an American immigration policy brought in by former president Barack Obama that allowed some individuals who entered the country as minors and stayed, to receive a renewable two-year permit which would free them from threat of deportation and allow them to have a work permit. The status of 800,000 young people who were born in the US to undocumented migrants remains very much in limbo. The policy was overturned by President Donald Trump in September this year, but the fight is not over. Tomorrow in Toronto, Christopher Torres will speak about how the DREAMers helped win Americans hearts and minds in order to achieve the goal of normalizing the status of 800,000 young people. United We Dream, was the famous American campaign that pushed President Obama to introduce the DACA Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
