DACA

<p></p>
<p>Hace tres años el Presidente Obama hizo un anuncio importante y dejó clara su intención de ayudar a los DREAMers; jóvenes que fueron traídos por sus padres, a los Estados Unidos, de manera indocumentada. Anunció su plan de “Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia” DACA, por sus siglas en inglés, (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), una medida ejecutiva que le permitía proveer ciertos beneficios a esos muchachos, debido a que el Congreso se reusaba a tomar acción en la reforma migratoria.</p>

<p>Cynthia Tejeda was both nervous and hopeful as she waited in a long line at the Mexican Consulate Office in Los Angeles last week to speak with an immigration attorney.</p>

<p>Nearly fifteen months after the Obama administration announced Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), approximately half of all eligible immigrants in California have yet to apply.</p>
<p>The program offers temporary legal status to qualifying undocumented immigrants who entered the country at or before age 16, and who have lived in the United States continuously since 2007.</p>

However, a key factor in determining whether their dreams become reality will be their ability to enroll in adult schools and community college programs.</span></p>
