So I strongly recommend applying for DACA, DA 2.0 might even have various provisions that elevate successful DACA candidates as already qualified for the updated dream act. So apply, and get going right away.

Obama has to push this as hard as he wanted his healthcare act..anything less isn't going to cut it !!!!!!

My bad, I guess those that have benefited from DACA have pretty much satisfied 90% of the requirements; thus, college or military service is the last piece of the puzzle.
