The President did it. I applauded him for doing it. So far. 700.000 young people just like Tereza Lee have signed up for protection under DACA. We estimate that the total universe of young people eligible is about 2.5 million. So the President attempted to extend the DACA Program. He said: We need to address the problem with their parents. Many of these parents have children who are U.S. citizens and legally in the United States. but they are undocumented and subject to deportation. So the President said. in what is known as DAPA: The parents of these kids can come forward. submit themselves to a criminal background check with fingerprints and all. pay a filing fee of around $500. and then they will be allowed. on a temporary. renewable basis. if they keep their noses clean. to work in this country. If they are going to work in this country. they have to pay their taxes. Well. that is what the President suggested. As soon as he made these two proposals to extend DACA and to create this other program for the parents. a lawsuit was filed. It was led by the State of Texas. and 25 other States. I believe. joined.
