No More DACA Deal? TN For Mexico in Crisis!

This morning, President Trump tweeted: “NO MORE DACA DEAL!” and threatened to terminate NAFTA with Mexico if it doesn’t stop people from flowing through Mexico’s Southern Border and then into U.S.

It is unclear if the tweet represents a change on DACA policies.   Although rescinded by President Trump, The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program’s cancellation is being partially postponed by court action.  Currently, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is not accepting DACA applications from individuals who had never been previously granted DACA.  The benefits of having an approved DACA are the ability to apply for a work permit and deferred removal actions from the U.S.

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is an agreement of special economic and trade relationships for the United States, Canada and Mexico.  Under NAFTA, eligible Mexican and Canadian citizens may apply for TN classification to perform professional business/work activities in the U.S.  Unlike H-1B Cap Petition, TN is not subject to an annual visa cap.
