New York City is running a below average approval rate for undocumented immigrants seeking relief under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, according to a report from a Brookings Institution researcher.

While New York City was the site of more than 44,000 applications -- second only to Los Angeles, and accounting for 8 percent of all applications nationwide -- it had only an 84 percent approval rate, below the 89 percent national average.
