From the DACA guidelines:
"Q6: If my case is deferred, am I in lawful status for the period of deferral?
A6: No. Although action on your case has been deferred and you do not accrue unlawful presence during the period of deferred action, deferred action does not confer any lawful status."
"Q7: Does deferred action provide me with a path to permanent residence status or citizenship?
A7: No. "
Just tell them you have a work permit...
