If you apply for DACA and don't get it, then you're an easy target for deportation. I know that USCIS said they won't forward your information to ICE directly, but if you have a background check done on you then you never know what they're going to find in there -- for all you know there's a deportation order against you that was approved in absentia.

True, and yet if they really wanted to, they wouldn't let people with deportation orders apply. Still, anyone outside detention can qualify. I don't think ICE worries too much about its ass. It already catches enough flak from crazies as is that any reduction in deportation statistics won't really matter. Plus, Romney's not about to play hardball on immigration when he doesn't even have a bat to swing. ICE Unions would get pissed, but that's all they do anyway. Nothing new here.
