Abstract
By positioning the subjects of the political action in the center of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), we aim to return to the Arendtian perplexities of human rights to name a scene in which undocumented migrants dispute the meanings of citizenship and subjectivity of rights in the United States. The article was divided in three movements: the impacts of DACA in the context of being undocumented in the country; the perplexities of human rights; and mobilizing such critique in four framings of citizenship presented by Nicholls to interpret the arrangements in our scenes. We conclude on the multiple and paradoxical effects of this policy, a legal-political temporary fix and an opening for the dispute of meanings.
