Biden Commemorates the 12th Anniversary of DACA | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

President Joe Biden took the opportunity today to speak and commemorate the 12th anniversary of DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program, which was enacted by former President Barrack Obama in 2012. DACA defers the deportation of migrants who were brought to the US illegally as children. While the order doesn't give undocumented immigrants "lawful status", the White House says it does allow in part "young people to live and work in the only country they have called home." Director of Research for the Center for Immigration Studies, Steven Camarota, joins to talk about the significance of the new executive action that the Biden Administration announced today which prevents undocumented spouses of US citizens from being deported. Camarota shares whether he expects it to face legal challenges like DACA did. Camarota gives us an idea of who these DACA recipients are and how many have benefited from this program since it began in 2012. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
