Playing Devil's Advocate, here is a reason a completely non-racist person could disapprove of DACA. But before I begin I would point out that being brought here illegally as a child does not have a racial prerequisite. Meaning it could be a kid of any ethnicity brought here from any country. That being stated a person could object to such a course of action as it further encourages illegal activity. Incentivizing illegal behavior will only create more of said illegal behavior. Now, if approval of DACA was coupled with strong immigration controls to prevent this from becoming an issue in the future for a whole new batch of kids I would imagine that a large percentage of opposition to the program would disappear. Stepping back into my own shoes I don't, for a second, believe that racism is the primary motivation of the vast majority of people opposed to DACA.
