Executive Action on Immigration Reform
Executive action to fix our broken immigration system is finally here!
On November 20th, 2014, President Obama announced commonsense steps to provide relief to struggling families that are within his legal authority to act.
Here’s what Immigration Accountability Executive Action does:
- Expands the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program
Expands DACA to people over the age of 30 who arrived here before turning 16. To qualify, individuals must have been in the U.S. since January 1, 2010;
- Creates a new Deferred Action for Parental Accountability (DAPA) program
Parents of U.S. citizen children and Lawful Permanent Resident children born on or before November 20, 2014 who have been present in the country since January 1, 2010 will be able to apply for deferred action and employment authorization for three years;
- Invokes Prosecutorial Discretion
Prioritizes actual criminals – not families – for deportation. Immigration officials will target only those with specific criminal convictions or who pose a danger to national security;
- Ends the Secure Communities data collection program;
- Streamlines our Employment-Based Immigration System;
