Immigrants Prepare for Life Under President Trump

Donald Trump has pledged to eliminate President Obama's 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA). DACA is available to young immigrants known as Dreamers, after the congressional Dream Act. That immigration reform bill has repeatedly failed to pass but formed the cornerstone of Obama's stand-in program, implemented by executive action.

People in the program are required to give their addresses, making it easier for immigration authorities to find participants. Bloomberg Businessweek's Josh Eidelson has more on "Bloomberg Markets."
