Immigration Policy: Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals

This paper explores the impact of undocumented immigration on the United States economy, taking into account the composition of the immigrants' population. There are different opinions about the number of immigrants in the United States (US), immigration being considered a disadvantage to the economy by some and a benefit by others. This thesis project examines whether immigrant workers have been an essential part to the growth of the economy. It will also examine if the Dreamers, assisted through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy, can help the United States economy by paying State and Federal taxes, participating in commerce.
