About 800,000 immigrants are part of the Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals (DACA) plan. DACA is a plan established in 2012 by former President Barack Obama.

With the evidence given, it proves that such recipients also utilize this program in efficient manners. Furthermore, less than 1 percent of people enrolled in DACA have been convicted of crimes (Bier).

Ultimately, those in DACA are not only conducive members, but are no threat to the U.S and its people.
One might argue that DACA is unconstitutional and should therefore be repealed. For example, the policies of DACA are not protected under judicial order (Fordyce). The DACA plan is only enforced by abuses of executive order (Fordyce). Judicial order is the highest branch of government, as they interpret the constitution loosely or strictly to determine the condition of a law. Since DACA was not approved by this power, then it is
