What is the difference between citizens and non-citizens: level 2

Leon’s family entered the United States without proper authorization in 1999 when he was seventeen years old. He is the oldest of five children, so when he got to the United States, he didn’t go to school, choosing to work instead. He started his own family and eventually got his General Education Development credential (GED). He’s held a steady job building houses for the last twenty years, but he knows he can make more money if he gets proper work authorization.

Given the information above and your knowledge of government and politics, could Leon qualify for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program?

(Choice A)
No; Leon went to work instead of going to school, which made him ineligible to become a DACA recipient.
(Choice B)
No; Leon was seventeen years old when he came to the United States, making him too old for the DACA program.
(Choice C)
Yes; Leon is an undocumented immigrant brought to the United States when he was a minor, making him eligible for the program.
(Choice D)
Yes; Leon has been an upstanding member of society and has not gotten into any legal trouble, so he can apply for DACA.
