I've aged out of DACA; I hope they remove the age-cap for DREAM beneficiaries, since the number of aged-out DREAM beneficiaries keeps dwindling down, and there are few of us compared the rest of the undocumented population at large, it doesn't serve any purpose to exclude us, it doesn't reduce backlogs, improve national security, etc.

No one can be granted temporary status until the border security-trigger plan is in place, but deportations won't be stopped either??? What is this? Assuming this even passes, six months later they need to present the plan, then put it into place, then we can apply for TPS???? When? 2 years from now??

And what happens in January, 2014 when ACA goes into full effect if I'm still without status? I have been able to purchase my own health insurance for 18 yrs, and now that the Dems are in charge, I will be treated as a criminal.
