This Migration Policy
Institute (MPI) webinar explores the findings of a new report about the Deferred Action
for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) initiative and eligible
populations two years after its implementation. In
this briefing, MPI researchers present their analysis of the immediately and potentially eligible DACA
populations nationally and for leading states, as well as broader
sociodemographic findings, including English proficiency, educational
attainment, poverty level, and more. They also discuss the broader
implications of DACA for U.S. immigration
and integration policy, as well as lessons
that can be applied to the program’s next phase or possible
executive action that might expand deferred action to
other unauthorized immigrant populations.
The webinar also
introduces MPI's latest data tool, which provides
estimates for the U.S. and 41 states of the current
and potentially eligible DACA populations, as well as detailed profiles for the
U.S. and 25 states.
