These last few weeks have shown there is a lot of conflicting information when it comes to DACA.

Over the next couple minutes I want to take the time to explain the #NeedToKnow info when it comes to DACA.

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, also known as DACA, was created by the Obama admin in 2012.

It allowed young people (under age of 31 by June 15, 2012 ) brought to this country by their parents to get temp. reprieve from deportation.

DACA recipients, #Dreamers, receive permission to work, study, and obtain a driver’s license.

BUT 1 ) #Dreamers have to prove they lived in the US continuously since June 15, 2007 & arrived in the US before 16 yrs old.

2) #Dreamers must show they have CLEAN criminal record & are enrolled in HS (diploma/GED), college, or military—status renewable every 2 yrs

3) And they are NOT a threat to national security or public safety
