They dont have any basic idea what their future is going to be. The President said. here is what I will do. I will create this Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program. the DACA Program. If these young people will come forward. if they will submit a filing fee to cover the cost of the program. if they will submit themselves to background checks. then we will give them temporary status in Americatemporary status in America. We are not making them citizens or declaring them legal forever. We are saying they can go to school and work without the fear of deportation. We estimate there are 2 million young people in our Nation of 350 millionplus who would qualify for this DACA treatment. Six hundred thousand have in fact registered in the 21/2 years since the Presidents decision. DACA put on hold deportation so these young people who grow up in this country would have a chance. These are the DREAMers. They are the ones we have referred to over and over on the floor and tell their stories.
