That's what I thought. Here is DACA's criteria (underlines mine):
Came to the United States before their 16th birthday
Have lived continuously in the United States since June 15, 2007 (The child invasion did not start until 2014)
were under age 31 on June 15, 2012 (i.e., born on June 16, 1981 or after)
Were physically present in the United States on June 15, 2012, and at the time of making their request for consideration of deferred action with USCIS
Had no lawful status on June 15, 2012 (i.e. illegal)
Have completed high school or a GED, have been honorably discharged from the armed forces, or are enrolled in school (not fruit pickers but competition for better paying jobs)
Have not been convicted of a felony or serious misdemeanors, or three or more other misdemeanors, and do not otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety.
From WiKi: " Over 600,000 cases were reviewed in 15 months" (That's 40,000 per month, 1290 per day, 161 per hour), so how much vetting could be done, based on the personnel available to do the vetting? The author answers that.
Vetting?
Zip!
You can barely document 161 people an hour, let alone read anything related to them.
Any DACA dreamer who meets most of those requirements should have a stack of proof a foot high from educational institutions alone, such as diplomas, yearbooks with their photos inside, and numerous registration and report card documents.
I doubt those approving the applications were very diligent in requiring valid documents.
We've seen 30 year old adults enrolling in high school.
No one wants to talk about the immigration fraud with the Somalis and the Syrians.
