What to Know: U.S. courts have fully reinstate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that protects young immigrants here illegally.

The TPPF Take: DACA, however good its aims, is not the right way to go about reforming immigration.

“Programs like DACA, which effectively granted amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, amount to lawmaking and ought to be passed by lawmakers, not decreed by presidents who can’t get their preferred policies through a divided Congress,” says TPPF Senior Fellow John Daniel Davidson. “After all, DACA is not law—not even an executive order. It is a memo.”
