President Obama’s Re-election Means DACA Will Survive 4 More Years

Good News for those who have applied for deferred action for childhood arrivals (“DACA”) and those who were waiting to apply until after the election.  President Obama’s re-election means that the program will be safe for the remainder of his four year term.  In the past, I had blogged that those who are eligible under DACA should wait to apply until after the election because Mitt Romney had presented a very anti-immigration position during the Republican primaries.  Hopefully, the DREAM Act and Comprehensive Immigration Reform will be passed and DACA will be rendered obsolete.
