A report by the Center for Migration Studies of New York indicates that a significant percentage of undocumented immigrants in the United States may be eligible for permanent status. The Center surveyed organizations that provide legal services to immigrants, and found that 14.3 percent of unauthorized immigrants who were screened for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program were potentially eligible for some other immigration benefit or form of immigration relief, which could put them on a path to lawful permanent residence and citizenship.
