All five of the main DACA bills go well beyond the 700,000 illegal immigrants currently protected

When all is said and done, it’s very likely that the Republican-controlled Congress will offer some variation of amnesty than President Obama was ever able to protect through executive order. Moreover, their protections will be legislative, permanent, and unlikely to draw nearly the same legal challenges the former President prompted.
When President Trump rescinded DACA protections following a six-month period, he passed the buck to Congress to act in time. He even declared that if they didn’t act, he would. The number of people protected under DACA is around 700,000. Of the five main bills on the table, the lowest level of protection extends to 1.3 million while the heaviest, proposed by Luis Gutierrez, triples that number.
In other words, the best-case scenario is that the GOP will only protect twice as many illegal immigrants as President Obama did.
