According to information released Friday by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, the Obama administration not only gave protection to millions of illegal immigrants through DACA, but also allowed DACA recipients to obtain green cards.
"Preliminary data provided by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in response to recent inquiries from the House and Senate Judiciary Committees indicate that the Obama administration allowed thousands of DACA recipients to exploit an immigration law loophole to obtain green cards. The data also show that more than a thousand DACA recipients have already obtained citizenship," Grassley released. "The DACA program was never intended to provide a pathway to citizenship, and the program’s legal future is in jeopardy."
The numbers:
As of August 21, 2017, 45,447 DACA recipients have been approved for advance parole through an I-131 Application for travel documents. This approval allows a DACA recipient to travel out of the country and legally return, making them eligible to adjust their immigration status and receive a green card. Another 3,993 had their applications denied.
The data provided indicates 59,778 DACA recipients have applied for Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status—also known as a ‘green card’—and 39,514 have been approved. Of those who received LPR status, 2,181 have applied for U.S. citizenship and 1,056 have become U.S. citizens.
Aquiring a green card is a major step toward obtaining American citizenship, which of course gives individuals the right to vote. Here's the official path to citizenship from USCIS: 
Adding insult to injury the Obama administration used fees paid by legal immigrants to pay for DACA, which allows millions of illegal immigrants to cut the line without paying hefty fees.
This reason alone is good enough to pull the plug on DACA.
“The DACA program was never intended to provide a pathway to citizenship, and the program’s legal future is in jeopardy.”

That was Obama’s intent and the program was never legal.
If we had an opposition party they would have sued to stop it in July of 2012.

So, now, do they lose these protections and will be deported?
The Voters need to focus on cleaning out the
GOP Congress in ‘18.
They let this slide right through, and didn’t even put
up a whimper of resistance.
Bring in the new people!
Nobody will be punished for this treason.
One of the things they need to check is that they have never registered to vote. If the are registered they get deported
You’re a citizen when you vote!
It’s completely unconstitutional and should be ended ASAP.
And if you vote for a democrat, than it doesn’t matter if you are a citizen or not.
You couldn’t even buy a house in Mexico, yet alone become a citizen
This was the Liberal Messiah’s way to manipulate the election by inflating the Wicked Witch’s popular vote total. Fortunately, the Founding Fathers provided us with the Electoral College.
I have lost hope that these criminals will ever be convicted and jailed
Rescind citizenship from recipients that received benefits from this despicable, illegal executive action.
Jail b o.
What? And risk being called racist or xenophobic?
