| Results from a Nationwide Survey of DACA Recipients Illustrate the Program's Impact | |||||||||||||||||||||||
In June, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program—which allows eligible unauthorized immigrants who entered the country at a young age to apply for temporary deferrals of deportations and work permits—marked its third anniversary. To date, roughly 665,000 people have received DACA. The National Immigration Law Center, or NILC, the Center for American Progress, and Tom K. Wong of the University of California, San Diego, conducted a national survey to analyze the economic and educational outcomes of DACA recipients. A full 96 percent of respondents are currently employed or in school. Many are getting better, higher-paying jobs than they had before they received DACA. They are buying cars at high rates, and many are pursuing educational opportunities previously unavailable to them. Car buying in particular translates into significant tax revenue for states: In Texas, for example, respondents' car purchases mean an average tax payment of $647 to the state. Deferred action provides only temporary protections and a more permanent solution in the form of comprehensive immigration reform legislation—anchored by a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants—would yield even greater benefits and provide increased prosperity for all Americans. Explore how DACA has already improved the lives of its recipients. See also: State-by-State Analysis of the Economic Impact of DACA, DAPA, and DACA Expansion | |||||||||||||||||||||||
