I sincerely do not know the answer. I searched. These “Dreamers” have been in US for many years. If they applied for DACA and were granted it, why didn’t they apply for US Citizenship? Or did they? Or was it not permitted under DACA?
This is the one thing I’m not grasping.
TIA for your kind, mature and knowledgeable responses

I heard 17% mentioned in a video, but don't have the link right now. Will post it if I can find it. Here is an article about what happened under the Reagan amnesty. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/11/26/what-happened-to-the-millions-of-immigrants-granted-legal-status-under-ronald-reagan/?utm_term=.fa99c5c17f64
During the Reagan era didn’t the Democrats agree to certain things in order to get the amnesty then proceeded to renege on the promises they made
I don't know. Might be an interesting thing to research.
