Under Obama program, illegals get driver's license, credit cards, Obamacare

Under Obama program, illegals get driver's license, credit cards, Obamacare | WashingtonExaminer.com:
"President Obama’s 2012 program to defer deportation of young illegal immigrants greatly eased their ability to get jobs, credit cards, bank accounts, driver’s licenses and even Obamacare despite their undocumented status, according to a new Harvard University report.
The review of over 2,000 young illegals given relief from deportation by Obama’s June 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, found that many have won the same benefits as U.S. citizens, including higher education despite the failure of the so-called Dream Act that led to the president's initiative.
“Since receiving DACA, many have obtained new jobs and internships.
Some have also opened bank accounts and obtained credit cards,” said the study just published in the journal American Behavioral Scientist.
It added: “And although the Affordable Care Act does not guarantee health insurance to DACA recipients, a significant share of our respondents have reported obtaining health care since receiving their DACA paperwork.”
The report, made available to Secrets, even coined a special phrase for the new class of illegal immigrants created by Obama. 
“They may grade their label ‘undocumented’ for ‘DACAmented,’” it said."
