The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program will be rescinded on March 5, 2018 as announced by President Trump, leaving hundreds of thousands of young adults feeling apprehensive. The consequences may be dramatic not only from an economic perspective for them and their communities, but also for the wellbeing of them and their families. DACA provided relief to undocumented youth who were brought to the U.S. when they were younger than 16. This relief allowed them to access education, better opportunities, and to find employment, while improving their communities and families’ lives. Learn from experts about the impact of rescinding DACA, how immigration affects health, and the implications for public health.
