Plus I'm surprised no one is mentioning that DACA recipients would have a 13-15 yr wait to become citizens, and hence would not petition parents right away.
**Yes I'm aware we can petition parents as a LPR but by the time their Priority date is current it would have been the same as waiting until the DACA recipient was a US citizen

And then there's DACA recipients whose parents already have permanent residence or have USC siblings that can petition their parents when they are 21 years of age.
