Well you are really looking at two completely different laws here. DACA specifically applies to kids brought to this country while they are minors. So laws regarding Daca could be changed quite easily.
Anchor babies refer to kids born in the country that then are used to keep the parents there. Now the anyone born in the US is a citizen by birth, that's from the 14th ammendment to the Constitution so that's not changing anytime soon. Now the law could be changed to prevent the parents from staying, deport them and even bar them reentry to the US, but that child is a full citzen of the US and they can come and go as they please regardless of their age.
