Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Marco would be classified as a "Dreamer" or a recipient of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provides protection from deportation and work authorization for unauthorized immigrants who arrived in the US as children (under the age of 16) and meet certain criteria. Being in Ohio for the past 8 years and graduating from a public high school at the age of 19 would make him eligible for the program. Multiethnic learner, pre-documented adult, and late-comer are not accurate or commonly used terms for his situation.
