Who will get relief?

The executive order will affect around 4.9 million undocumented immigrants, including the some 4.1 million immigrants whose children already have legal status. Obama will also expand a program for undocumented immigrants who came here as children. If each of these individuals apply and are accepted into the executive action program, they will be temporarily sheltered from deportation and become eligible to work.

Representing the largest group affected are the 4.1 million parents of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents. To qualify, these individuals must have been in the country for at least five years and cannot have criminal records.

The executive action will also remove the upper age limits of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which has thus far conferred temporary deportation reprieve and work authorization to about 600,000 undocumented immigrants between the ages of 15 and 31. Individuals who apply under the expanded deferred action program must have come into the United States before the age of 16 and must have arrived before January 2010. This category would likely affect 300,000 immigrants.

Recipients of the DACA program and its expansion would qualify for three-year renewals, instead of the current two-year expiration date for DACA recipients. Current DACA recipients would also be eligible for three-year renewals.
