About 400,000 have been granted status including work permits and SSNs. The rejection rate is less than 1% for those who applied. High DACA Approval Rate Raises Amnesty Questions
The liberal Migration Policy Institute reports Obama youth amnesty numbers jump to 1.9 million.
since they know any POTUS can deport them at any time for any reason so applying is a risk,
Actually, the government has promised that it will not deport anyone who applies even if they are rejected. Obama wants them to come forward and apply.
You jumped to hypothetical about a amnesty bill different subject.
No, I didn't. Those who have been granted legal status will not be deported. They will eventually become US citizens. The Reps (Cantor and Goodlatte) are working on a "Kids bill" that will make them legal. I am afraid this train has left the station. Most Reps and the majority of the public are supportive of legalization of the Dreamers. It is really the camel's nose under the tent.
Obama is only in office ~ 3 more years so unless he gets an amnesty bill that gives them a green like card they are taking a risk signing up.
Of course Obama wants them to sign up.
Of course a GOP POTUS is unlikely to try to throw them all out. But they dont know. We are citizens.
The “dreamers” should go to immigration lawyers and see what can be done for their situation and they should pay for it with their own money not with ours.
