people eligible for daca arrived in the u-s before they turned 16. they must have lived here since june 2007... and they cannot be over the age of 31 as of june 2012. also -- they must have no felony convictions. if a daca application is approved: recipients can obtain valid drivers licenses, enroll in college, legally secure jobs. but --- it does ánotá give "dreamers" a path to become u-s citizens or permanent residents.

lloyd expects republicans to throw additional provisions into a dream act bill - like funding for a border wall, or a cut in overall immigration in coming years. as for what happens if daca ádoes end on tuesday?there may be some small comfort in knowing the timetable. "so someone who's never been in removal proceedings before, wouldn't get deported immediately." (looklive)lloyd is confident of that, because undocumented immigrants would still have the right to fight those removal proceedings if they start, and that's a legal process which could take years. in berkeley, spencer blake, kron four news.
