Question 4 • CA-Ethnic Studies

What did the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program provide?

Answer
A
immediate citizenship to all undocumented immigrants
B
a temporary work visa to anyone who applies
C
deportation of all undocumented immigrants
D
legal status to immigrants brought to the US as children

Explanation

DACA offered temporary protection from deportation and work authorization to certain undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children and met specific requirements. It did not grant citizenship or permanent legal status, and it was not available to every applicant. Therefore, the best choice is “legal status to immigrants brought to the US as children,” though this option describes DACA imprecisely as legal status.
