DHS Releases New Stats on DACA (NOT GOOD FOR US) - Page 3

A guy in a truck ran a red light, hit my car and totaled it. Thankfully, I was uninjured. However, I ended up having to go to court for not having a license.

This was literally a few weeks after DACA was announced by Obama and I had already sent in my application. I was literally just waiting for approval.

Anyway, I go to court, pay a fine or whatever, and I am extra careful not to get pulled over until I can get my license once my social security card and EAD arrive (I lived in a state where you couldn't get a license if you are undocumented).

Years later, in 2016, I got a job offer and I was given a start date on the condition that my background check came back fine and all that small stuff. I had never been in trouble with the law, and my driving without a license had never come up at any point since 2012. I get an e-mail from HR saying that I lied on my background check questionare because it shows that I have an arrest from 2012. I was so confused and worried! I was never ever in handcuffs, and to this day don't know why it shows up as an arrest. I ended up explaining everything to my employer and everything worked out fine.

I wonder if dumb things like this are inflating those statistics.
