8 Things to Know About DACA

In this guest post, Equal; Justice Works Fellow Laura Flores-Dixit, of the California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation offers eight things to know about DACA.  Note the first letter of each paragraph.  Yes, the letters spell AMERICAN.

For the past four years, Laura has served low-wage immigrant communities while learning from the immigration advocates at California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation. As she writes, her experiences as an AmeriCorps member in rural Texas, a volunteer law student, an Equal Justice Works Fellow, and now an Immigration Staff Attorney in rural California, have all reaffirmed her commitment to serving immigrants in geographically isolated communities. In light of recent announcements about the future of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), she compiled an overview of the program.
