800,000 dreamers have applied for DACA in three years

Almost 800,000 undocumented youth in the United States applied for the Deferred Action Program for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which will turn three years old June 15.

Since the implementation of the program in 2012, a total of 794,501 "dreamers" applied for the protection from deportation and 381,188 have received it, according to USCIS.

The program started by the Obama administration allows undocumented youth who meet certain criteria to also receive a work permit.

At the program's start, the Pew Research Center estimated that up to 1.7 million undocumented youth might be eligible.

Last year, President Obama announced two executive actions intended to offer a relief to an additional 5 million undocumented immigrants.

The first one would expand the deferred action program for undocumented youth (DACA) implemented in 2012 by allowing an additional number of "dreamers" to apply for a protection from deportation and a work permit. The second one, known as DAPA, would allow parents of American citizens or residents to apply for the same protections.

However, the future of the expansion of DACA remains uncertain after the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, Louisiana, denied the Obama administration’s request to lift a hold on the president’s executive actions on immigration.

The court denied the petition to lift the hold established in February by a federal judge in Texas, Andrew Hanen, following a lawsuit by a coalition of 26 states.

DACA is the worst possible "executive order" ever issued. What is wrong with you people? Are you nuts? Insane? Wackos? It doesn't matter at what age someone came in here, if you're illegally in the country, you need to be deported. If you're unhappy with how this impacts your life, then blame your parents, because they did it to you, whatever it is you think is being done to you, and stop whining at the United States about it. We didn't do it, we didn't bring you here, we don't want you here, we want you and your parents to get the hell out of here and go back to your own countries where you belong, and the sooner you do it, the better.

JUDY YOU ARE 100 % RIGHT AGAIN
OUR GOV SHOULD NOT HAND OUT ANY FOOD STAMP OR FREE APARTMENT OR GET ANY JOB'S OR DR LIC . OR ANY MEX CARE WHICH I & MY FAMILY DON'T HAVE BUT THEY CAN GET IT FOR FREE I DON'T THINK SO . OUR FRIEND LIVE IN FL & JUDY IT SO BAD IT NOT FUNNY SOME OF OUR MAN & LADY'S ARE ON THE STREET NO FOOD AT ALL BUT THE OBAMA

So the rest of the 1.7 million people who didn't apply for DACA are still here, most likely using a faux ID for work & tax refunds and another faux ID for welfare. After all that's the illegal alien way. Lie, cheat, steal and then laugh at us stupid Americans who let them get away with it!

So right, southBronx! I've never known a government to betray it's own citizens to the extent our government has done for the benefit for foreigners. It's just unbelievable.
