The Daca Policy Of The United States Of America

By Marylou Forbes


Initiated by the American homeland security secretary, Mrs. Janet, the program is Deferred Action for the Child Arrivals. This is a memorandum billed by the Barrack Obama administrative team, and called daca, from the 15th of June in 2012. It is principally a direction to Custom Borders and Protection unit, Immigration Services and the immigration Customs Enforcement in an effort to exercise prosecutorial discretion to immigrants who moved to the Americas as very young children and yet are not documented up to the present.

The immigrations service is meant to develop very clear and effective processes in exercising discretion in prosecution for specific cases, where they defer prosecution against any individuals who meet criteria and are younger than 15 years. They should be granted employment authorization that is renewable in order to efficiently prevent any low priority individuals from placement in removal proceedings and even being deported from the United States.

The United States Citizenship Immigration Service is expected to define clearly an efficient procedure for the discrete prosecution of individuals and defer jurisdiction on those who satisfy the criteria used and are over fifteen years of age. This may be done for at least two years for one to be authorized for employment and undergo renewal in order to preclude low priority individuals being set out to the removal proceedings and even being excommunicated from the country.

ICE as well is directed to utilize office of public advocate in granting permission to persons who are sure they match up to the aforementioned criteria and can identify themselves through clear and efficient processes. In addition to that, the ICE, has been asked to begin deferring actions for individuals who have met the criteria set and have cases which have already been identified in the ongoing review process for pending cases. This is meant to be done before reviewing the executive office of Immigration.

However, Mitt Romney could not completely support Obama in this idea. Thus, Romney agreed with only the part dealing with the military service. As expected, the success of effecting the policy brought with it a very demanding process. That is the eligibility process which is somewhat very rigorous.

To confirm the status of immigration, they are required to have their authorized stay documents that will clearly show the expiry dates of their stay in US, the final exclusion order, deportation and removal issues as at June 15th 2012 and finally a charging document that places one in the removal proceedings.

The Institute of Migration Policy has estimated 1.76 million people will benefit from the new policy by Obama. However, some situations show different guidelines on the same. Of all the inhabitants, only about 72% can meet the required minimum age of 15 plus. The other 28% fall under 15years. This forces them to await their eligibility to apply for the same. Also, about 351,000 young adults who have not completed secondary school or at least attained a GED may still apply so long as they are sure to re-enroll before the date they intend to send their applications.

On a broader perspective, potential eligible youth immigrants may be distributed around the States. Texas, California, Florida, Illinois and New York are the main five states with the highest number of these potential beneficiaries. 74% of these qualified populations were born in Mexico or the Central America.
