Young immigrants qualify for DACA if they entered the country before they were 16 years old and were younger than 30 as of June 2012. During the 2016 campaign trail, Trump pledged to “immediately terminate” DACA, but reversed course after being elected saying DACA recipients “shouldn’t be very worried.” The Texas-led coalition to end DACA might finally force Trump into a final decision. According to these studies, without DACA, tax revenue would be seriously impacted. In response to the challenges DACA faces, Senators Lindsay Graham (R-SC) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) introduced a legislative solution for the young immigrants DACA protects. The campaign is over.”President Trump has said in the past he will treat these young immigrants with “ great heart.”
