This study investigates the educational and economic attainment of Mexican Dreamers over the 4 years since DACA was implemented (2012–2016). A time-space stream of benefits and barriers is evaluated at the national, state, and individual levels. Based on assumptions linking the DACA-eligible to DACA recipients, I examine the annual American Community Survey (ACS) to glean insights not provided elsewhere. At national level, the results suggest that young Mexican Dreamers entered the workforce at higher rates, but college at lower rates, than a control group of Mexican Americans. At state level, in supportive states these Dreamers entered college at higher rates but the work force at slightly lower rates, than they did in restrictive states. At the individual level, it is revealed that DACA strongly promoted college over work for women, but just the reverse for men. These distinctions are bringing about new inequalities within the Mexican Dreamer community in the United States.

本研究调查了DACA实施以来（2012-2016年）的四年中墨西哥梦想家的教育和经济成就。在国家，州和个人各级评估利益和障碍的时空流。基于将符合DACA资格的人与DACA接受者联系起来的假设，我检查了年度美国社区调查（ACS），以收集其他地方未提供的见解。在国家一级，结果表明，与墨西哥裔美国人对照组相比，年轻的墨西哥梦想家进入劳动力市场的比率更高，而大学的进入率则更低。在州一级，与在限制性州相比，这些梦想家以较高的入学率上大学，但劳动力以较低的入学率。在个人层面上，人们发现，DACA极大地促进了大学在女性工作方面的努力，但是对于男人来说恰恰相反。这些区别在美国的墨西哥梦者社区内部带来了新的不平等现象。
