When government assumptions don't match the numbers then something is wrong with the assumptions.



I am only talking about original DACA, the one with a 30 year age limit. eDACA would could tack on another 300-400k but it's hard to say since it never happened. DAPA could feasibly throw in millions considering all the mixed status families.

Unfortunately it's hard to say how many there are because neither actually took effect for people to apply and be enumerated.

if a Dream Act like amnesty passes, i can see more than 3-5 million apply, since dtrt09 wants "all childhood arrivals" be covered. if a DACA only bill passes, it wont cover her bcuz she doesnt qualify.

i doubt there are only 1.5m childhood arrivals, i mean we got 50 year olds here like iAmAman and DACA-IR-DA, they are both childhood arrivals.
