A new study reveals nearly half of the 800,000 DACA recipients previously worked in the U.S. without a valid social security number.

The data, released by the University of California, San Diego on Thursday, shows 44% of illegals protected under the Obama-era program were not authorized to work in the country before gaining DACA status.

The report finds the immigrants may have stolen social security numbers belonging to American citizens, shedding light on potential widespread identity theft.

The Trump administration is set to end the program within months barring congressional action.
