DACA recipient and electrical engineering student Brian Caballero, 25, works on a circuit board for his lab class in Pomona, California, U.S., January 25, 2018. Caballero is an electrical engineering undergraduate student in his last year of Cal Poly Pomona University. He came to the U.S. when he was five or six years old from Guadalajara, Mexico. Caballero said he was worried about losing DACA: "When I finally graduate, not being able to be employed, terrifies me... The vast majority of people who are unauthorised in this country are here to have a better life... the majority of people are like me: here, trying to seek an education and just trying to improve their lives."

An image of Saint Pancras, patron saint of jobs and health, is seen on an electrical board at the home of Antonia Mendez de Sangroni, 63, before learning that her eviction had been suspended in Madrid December 19, 2013. Electricity bills are set to rise at least 10 percent at the start of 2014 in Spain, making it difficult for many Spanish households with unemployed members to afford their bills. Mendez de Sangroni, who suffers from arthrosis, does not hold a steady job and tries to get by, by selling clothes from a whole supplier. Her eviction has been postponed indefinitely due to ongoing negotiations with Spanish nationalized lender Bankia. REUTERS/Susana Vera (SPAIN - Tags: SOCIETY BUSINESS)

Operation team leader Diego Rueda inspects circuit boards at Patton Electronics Company in Gaithersburg, Maryland November 7, 2013. U.S. economic growth accelerated in the third quarter as businesses restocked shelves but the slowest expansion in consumer spending in two years pointed to an underlying weakness. Gross domestic product expanded at a 2.8 percent annual rate, the quickest pace since the third quarter of 2012, the Commerce Department said on Thursday. It was a pick-up from a 2.5 percent clip in the second quarter and beat economists' expectations for 2.0 percent growth. REUTERS/Gary Cameron (UNITED STATES - Tags: BUSINESS POLITICS) 

Components mounted on a circuit board by robotic chip mounter are seen at Panasonic Factory Solutions Co. in Showa town, Yamanashi prefecture, April 19, 2013. As the breakneck growth in the global smartphone market eases, the mostly Japanese companies that make the robots that build the phones are looking to automakers to take up the slack. Robotics remains a strength in a Japanese electronics industry that has been hammered by competition from rivals in South Korea and Taiwan. Panasonic Corp, Hitachi High-Technologies, Yamaha Motor Co, Fuji Machine Manufacturing and JUKI Corp together make eight of every 10 component mounting robots. Picture taken April 19, 2013.
