On average, DACA recipients entered the US at the age of six-and-a-half.
Recipients of DACA must have proof they were brought to the US before the age of 16, were under 31 years of age when the program was launched, and be at least 15 years old when applying to DACA.
Congress has 4 months to come to a political solution before DACA officially ends.
Through March, 1,586,657 people nationally have been approved for the program, and of those, 799,077 have been approved for renewals, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
91% of DACA recipients have jobs.

This is some amazing context. It would be interesting for your group to really discuss these statistics as not many U.S. citizens know these simple facts, yet these are people that have been marginalized and ostracized. Interesting how Americans are so quick to judge the safety hazards of immigration, yet not really know all the facts.

I agree with Annie. I’m excited to see how you will incorporate these stats into your final doc.
