Program:
This week's program was held at Temblor Brewing. Delicious food and thirst-quenching brews.
Immigration attorney, Win Easton, was our presenter today. The topic was The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). DACA was an American immigration policy that allowed some individuals who entered the country as minors, and had either entered or remained in the country illegally, to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and to be eligible for a work permit. As of 2017, approximately 800,000 individuals were enrolled in the program created by DACA. The policy was established by the Obama Administration in June 2012 and rescinded by the Trump Administration in September 2017.
Win pointed out that the biggest problem with DACA is that there is NO provision of law for the targeted children to challenge deportation. Legal experts are divided as to the constitutionality of DACA, but no court has yet to rule it unconstitutional.
Interesting facts about DACA that you probably didn't know:
Research shows that DACA increased the wages and labor force participation of DACA-eligible immigrants, and reduced the number of unauthorized immigrant households living in poverty.
Studies have shown that DACA increased the mental health outcomes for DACA-eligible immigrants and their children.
There are no known major adverse impacts from DACA on native-born workers' employment, and most economists say that DACA benefits the U.S. economy.
To be eligible for the program, recipients may not have felonies or serious misdemeanors on their records.
There is no evidence that individuals covered by DACA are more likely to commit crimes than the general population of the United States.

Temblor is a great place to have a meeting... no open bar though.
