The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals is an order established by President Obama in response to the immigrations system. Initially, we must identify the proposed theories regarding the issues with the immigration system. There are a great number of individuals waiting years to be reunited with their families because of the long backlogs associated with visas.
