General Comment
|
Comment: A commenter indicated that the Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrival process is a waste of American taxpayers’
money. This commenter also indicated that removal action should
not be deferred for individuals with criminal records or who pose
a threat to public safety.
Response: No change is required
based upon this comment. DACA is a discretionary form of
relief in which the agency will consider the totality of the
circumstances, on a case by case basis. The nature and
severity of a requestor’s underlying criminal or public
safety concern will impact this discretionary decision.
