Monday’s PBS News Hour took sides on DACA, the acronym for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, children brought to America by illegal immigrant parents and allowed to stay (known in sympathetic media circles as "The Dreamers," named after a failed Obama-era bill). Co-anchor Geoff Bennett's rendition of the DACA mythos was perhaps the most objectionable part of the segment, in front of a cloying graphic of an American flag and the words “Dreams Deferred.” Geoff Bennett: The American dream is slipping further out of reach for young adults who were brought to this country without authorization as children, known as DACA recipients. That is the conclusion of a new report, which argues the barriers they face are driven not by a lack of ambition or talent, but by policy. Liz Landers speaks with one of the report’s authors. When was the last time PBS declared any regard for “The American Dream,” as opposed to issuing sour critiques of the direction of the country? Reporter Liz Landers: This month marks 14 years since the creation of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. For more than 500,000 Dreamers, many of them now in their 30s, their future in this country is uncertain. The policy established under the Obama administration offered undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. as minors a renewable two-year period of protection from deportation. To qualify, recipients must have been living in the U.S. before June 15, 2007, be in school or have a diploma, and have no criminal record. The Trump administration is chipping away at the policy, leaving the fate of many of its rules and regulations to ongoing court challenges… PBS anchor Geoff Bennett goes to bad for the so-called Dreamers: "The American dream is slipping further out of reach for young adults who were brought to this country without authorization as children, known as DACA recipients." pic.twitter.com/pIMSInFjNF — Clay Waters
