Life after 'Deferred Action' policy

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program began in August 2012; since then, more than 400,000 young people have received DACA benefits, and been relieved of the constant anxiety of a life without papers.  Four “DACAmented” youth speak about how DACA has changed their daily lives, and their hopes for a future.  “Being able to drive is a complete godsend.  I looked more at my rearview mirror more than the front of the road whenever I drove, all the time just looking for cops.”  See the video and read interviews with locals working after applying for DACA, on Voicewaves.[youtube=http://youtu.be/Cbtp5qKYqQc]
