DACA Students Consider The Future

December 23, 2016 – This week on New Mexico in Focus, producer Sarah sits down with three students who currently have DACA protection to talk about what may be ahead. DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), offers temporary protection – but not permanent legal residency – to eligible young people who were brought to the United States as children and grew up without documentation. President Obama signed the DACA order in 2016; it is not clear yet if president-elect Donald Trump will reverse the program once he takes office in January.
