BENTONVILLE (KFSM) -- Protesters chanted from a busy street in Bentonville, hoping to raise awareness of Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge's decision to end the Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals program.

"This is a country that's supposed to have compassion and concern and take in people and help them. I mean that's my idea of what the United States of America is all about and I'd like to think that's the country we still are," protester Harrie Farrow said.

Over the course of five years, 800,000 immigrant children have benefited from DACA. The program allows certain undocumented minors to apply for a renewable two-year work permit and deferred deportation.

"They were told they had this dream they could become full citizens if they did the right things and many of them are doing that and have been doing that and now its being taken away from them," Farrow said.

Protesters left statements for Rutledge to consider with the her representative at the mobile office.
