3149 - Understanding the Social, Legal, and Political Ramifications of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
Mon, August 12, 8:30 to 10:10am, Sheraton New York, Floor: Lower Level, Sugar HillSession Submission Type: Paper Session 100min
Description
Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ termination of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in September 2017 directly affected nearly 800,000 young undocumented immigrants who had enrolled since the Obama administration announced the executive action five years prior. While a series of lawsuits have forced federal authorities to continue to accept DACA renewals, the future of the program is uncertain. This panel invites papers that advance our empirical and theoretical understanding of why, how, and for whom DACA matters. Centering on the social, legal, and political ramifications of DACA, submissions might focus on outcomes for DACA recipients and their families; the roles of related lawmakers, educators, and organizations; the actions and perspectives of employers and institutions; the force of place and context of reception; and DACA recipients’ perceptions of the program’s termination and the related rise in deportation threat. Comparative analyses are especially welcome.
