Former President Obama on Saturday marked than a decade since the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program was passed and called on Congress to codify the program into law.

Former President Obama on Saturday marked 12 years since his executive action on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or 'DACA,' and called on Congress to codify the program into law before it expires. The Obama administration implemented DACA in 2012, so that those who entered the U.S. illegally as children were protected from deportation and had a pathway to citizenship.

That power has already been used by other groups of immigrants, such as members of the U.S. military or their family members who lack legal status.
