"We strive to make as much data about various aspects of USCIS operations available to the public as possible. We do so to improve public understanding of the immigration system and our role in it, as well as comply with required reporting mandates." (via https://www.uscis.gov/tools/reports-and-studies/understanding-our-data) Immigration data is one way of understanding the American populace. DACA data specifically contains information about immigrant youth.
Paper forms filled out by an applicant, petitioner, or requestor. Data is transferred manually to electronic systems by USCIS.
Active DACA recipients are included. DACA applicants that received rejections or inactive recipients are excluded. Immigrants who did not qualify for DACA are excluded. Individuals who obtained Lawful Permanent Resident status or U.S. citizenship are excluded.
On the USCIS website, it is noted that at times, respondents make errors on the forms, such as date format or selecting the wrong class preference or benefit type. Errors may also occur when USCIS transfers paper forms to the electronic database.
The data is publicly available.
Additional immigration data can be found from the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the U.S. Department of State.
