Abstract: In November 2014, Barack Obama announced several executive actions to make progress in mending our broken immigration system. One part of his effort centered on broadening the requirements to be part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that was announced in 2012 and has provided some relief to so-called DREAMERs brought to this country at an early age; our estimates, similar to those of the Migration Policy Institute (MPI), suggest that nearly 290,000 additional immigrants might benefit from this program expansion.
