Remember the fact that we're still illegal immigrants.
DACA does not provide any legal status.
You can't get GC nor citizenship from straight up being illegal except two methods (it's easier if you aren't EWI):
USC family member (i.e. spouse) or you've joined the US Army through Mavni program (couple of my friends received US citizenship right after their basic training).
