However according to the Migration Policy Institute, the renewal of such permits still went strong for as much as 83% of the DACA recipients have actually renewed their EADs.  This demonstrates that this program is actually valuable to the immigrant community.

Read the Report from the Migration Policy Institute The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program has provided hundreds of thousands of young unauthorized immigrants with a temporary reprieve from deportation and access to work authorization since it was first launched by the Obama administration in 2012. August 2015 marks the three-year anniversary of the implementation of the DACA program, and the one-year mark since U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) began renewing the grants of initial applicants. This brief finds that 83 percent, or 355,805, of the 430,396 beneficiaries eligible to renew their grants had done so as of March 31, 2015.
