For 10 years, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) has allowed more than 825,000 young undocumented Americans who call our nation home to pursue the American dream. While DACA has opened doors to exciting opportunities by serving as critical relief from deportation and providing access to work authorization, it is time to create a pathway to citizenship for all Dreamers.
