2012年，奥巴马总统签署了《童年抵美者暂缓遣返法案》（Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals，DACA），这是一项行政行动，为近80万在美国长大的无证移民提供驱逐出境救济、临时工作许可和驾驶执照。借鉴100在洛杉矶的深度访谈，本文记录了DACA的后果DACA收件人及其家人的法律的意识期间2013-2016.尽管特朗普政府选择在2017年逐步取消该计划，但有证据表明，DACA以看似平凡但累积和强大的方式暂时使家庭受益。国家颁发的身份证和工作许可证使他们有更多的机会实现目标，体验空间流动性，并通过相互依存建立更大的家庭独立性。尽管DACA只针对家庭的单一成员，但这些经历使整个家庭的法律的意识转向了对美国更强烈的自豪感和归属感。
In 2012, President Obama signed Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), an executive action that provided deportation relief, a temporary work permit, and driver licenses for almost 800,000 undocumented immigrants who grew up in the US. Drawing on 100 in-depth interviews in Los Angeles, this article documents DACA's consequences for the legal consciousness of DACA recipients and their families in the period of 2013-2016. Although the Trump Administration chose to phase out the program in 2017, evidence shows that DACA temporarily benefited families in seemingly mundane but cumulative and powerful ways. State-issued IDs and work permits led to many more opportunities to achieve their goals, experience spatial mobility, and establish greater family independence through interdependence. Together, and even though DACA targeted only single members of families, these experiences shifted entire families' legal consciousness toward a stronger sense of pride and belonging in the United States.
