Trump's comments on SC and DACA

[CJD]

When DACA was first announced, one of the pre-requisites to qualify for deferred action and/or a work permit is that you do not have any felonies or serious misdemeanors on your record.

Quote:DACA’s criteria were overly broad, and not intended to apply only to children. Under the categorical criteria established in the June 15, 2012 memorandum, individuals could apply for deferred action if they had come to the U.S. before their 16th birthday; were under age 31; had continuously resided in the United States since June 15, 2007; and were in school, graduated or had obtained a certificate of completion from high school, obtained a General Educational Development (GED) certificate, or were an honorably discharged veteran of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States. Significantly, individuals were ineligible if they had been convicted of a felony or a significant misdemeanor, but were considered eligible even if they had been convicted of up to two other misdemeanors.

So did the system fail and let felons in? Or is Trump lying?
