Explanation:

DACA aims to provide a form of relief to individuals who were brought to the US as children. It does not focus on removal, just - counting children, or differentiating between legal and undocumented in a general sense. It provides a temporary reprieve and work - authorization, moving towards a more stable status for these individuals. One of its goals is to create a pathway for those brought as children to have a more secure status in the US.

Answer:

to create a pathway to citizenship for individuals who were brought to the US as children
