Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a program that allows undocumented immigrants who came here as children to work and attend school legally for a limited period of time. To close out our discussion of the No Human Is Illegal movement, I talk with Dr. Alessandra Bazo Vienrich about how this legislation has helped young immigrants and where it still falls short. We discuss what it takes to get DACA status, how being undocumented inhibits students' educational success, and what would happen to these undocumented students if DACA ceased to exist. By the end of the episode, you'll not only understand how DACA works, but you'll also get a glimpse into the complicated process of making "good" immigration policies.
