DACA not open for many of this year’s college students

The World

DACA has been a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of undocumented people brought to the US as children. But a growing number of people never even had the option to enroll. That’s because DACA only applies to those who were in the country on or before June 15, 2007. Alisa Reznick from Tucson, AZ, reports that without DACA protections, they are having a tougher time paying for college and getting jobs.
