As part of the tenth anniversary of Deferred Action (DACA), the Mexican Consulate in Salt Lake held the DACA Day event, where they provided free advice to beneficiaries.
June 15 marked the tenth anniversary of the speech by then President Barack Obama, in which he announced the creation of a policy that would protect Dreamers, young people who were raised in the United States, but do not have legal permission to live in the country. .
DACA offered young people the opportunity to have a permit that protected them from being deported, and to obtain employment authorization in order to work legally. The requirements at that time were: undocumented immigrants under 31 years of age as of June 15, 2012, who arrived in the country before the age of 16 and who had lived in the United States since at least 2007.
