Notes:

(1) These estimates of unauthorized immigrants considered eligible for the DACA program are based on characteristics availabl
analyzed U.S. Census Bureau data; some might not be eligible due to disqualifying criminal convictions, lack of continuous U.S.
other factors that could not be modeled in the data. Note that these estimates use commonly accepted benchmarks from other
studies to determine the size of the unauthorized population and response rates to surveys. These estimates have the same sam
coverage errors as any other survey-based estimates that rely on American Community Survey (ACS) or other Census Bureau d
(2) Migration Policy Institute (MPI) estimates of the DACA-eligible population as of 2016 include unauthorized immigrant youth w
in the United States since 2007, were under the age of 16 at the time of their arrival in the United States, and were under the ag
