  2. What is DACA? DACA is relief from the deportation of young adults who entered the United States illegally as a child (under 16 years of age). It will allow undocumented immigrants to remain in the U.S. with legal immigrant status without fear of deportation for 2 years. Eligible immigrants will be able to receive a social security number, in-state tuition at CUNY, public health insurance, and a state ID. With DACA, students can also apply for scholarships for college. Over 85% of illegal immigrants in the U.S. that qualify for DACA are Latina/os, the largest subgroup being from Mexico and Central America.

Texas was the first state to allow in-state tuition for them in 2001. "These are children who grew up in our communities in the same way that their peers who went to school with them, they are our future, and it makes sense to invest in their education in the same way we invest other childrens' education," said Broder. "We are all going to benefit from it, and I think that is being better recognized across the country."
