DACA Immigration Latest News: Over Half A Million Dreamers Granted Deportation Deferral, Work Authorization
The data shows that about 82 percent of all applicants since the program’s inception have been approved. A little under a third (162,007)
live in California, while about half as many (88,106) are from Texas.
They are overwhelmingly from Mexico, with about 77 percent of recipients
showing it as their country of origin, followed by Central Americans:
20,227 El Salvadorans, 13,301 Guatemalans and 13,223 Hondurans
successfully applied. The total number of applications, even including
those rejected outright by USCIS, remains well below some independent
estimates of the number of Dreamers eligible. Last year, the nonpartisan
Migration Policy Institute (MPI) estimated, using census data, that about 1.9 million “Dreamers” could be eligible.
