In 2012, President Obama ordered the DACA program by executive action. DACA involves all of the following EXCEPT

It refers to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.

To qualify, individuals must have a clean record, have lived in US for at least five years, be a student, high school graduate, or military veteran.

It stepped up detentions and deportations of young undocumented immigrants who did not meet the government criteria.

It is similar in spirit to the 2001 Dream Act.

It delays deportations and granted work visas to undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as Children.

Answer 1

It stepped up detentions and deportations of young undocumented immigrants who did not meet the government criteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the only statement that is not a true description of the DACA program. This program is an immigration policy that allowed people who were brought into the country illegally as children to receive a deferral for deportation and to apply for a work permit in the United States. This was passed by President Obama in 2012. This program, however, does not provide a path to citizenship for the recipients.

Answer 2

It stepped up detentions and deportations of young undocumented immigrants who did not meet the government criteria.
