President Obama's Executive Action on Immigration
Headlining the Executive Actions announced by President Obama on Nov. 20, 2014, were plans to defer the removal of, and to provide work authorization to, undocumented immigrants who have lived in the United States for more than five years and are parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. In addition, the administration will expand the existing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) initiative.
DACA was implemented in 2012 to provide relief from removal and work authorization to young people who have been in the United States for at least five years, were born after 1981, met certain education and public safety criteria, and who entered the United States as children before June 15, 2007. The Presidential order will revise the DACA guidelines to allow qualified individuals of any age to apply if they were brought to the United States as children before Jan. 1, 2010. Both programs will provide temporary relief for three years.
