PARENTS
Protect from deportation and make eligible for work permits approximately 4.
1 million people who are in the U.S. illegally but whose children are U.S.
citizens or lawful permanent residents, regardless of whether the children
are minors. To be eligible, the parents would have to have lived in the U.S.
for five years.
———
CHILDREN
Expand the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which Obama
launched in 2012. It shields from deportation those minors who were brought
to the U.S. illegally as children. Obama will extend the program to minors
who arrived before 2010, instead of the current cutoff of 2007, and lift the
requirement that applicants be under 31 to be eligible. Upward of 250,000
could be affected.

PRIORITIZING DEPORTATIONS
Lower the deportation priority for parents of U.S. citizens or legal
permanent residents who have been in the U.S. for less than five years, and
for other immigrants who have been here illegally for more than 10 years. A
new policy will emphasize deportation for recent arrivals and for criminals.
———
LAW ENFORCEMENT
Replace the Secure Communities program, which hands over people booked for
local crimes to federal immigration authorities. The new program will be
called the "Priority Enforcement Program" and will set up different priority
levels based on the conduct for which immigrants are detained.
———
BORDER SECURITY
Commit more resources for enforcement efforts at the U.S.-Mexico border.
——
SALARIES
Increase pay for Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, who will play
a larger role in law enforcement.
———
BUSINESS PROGRAMS
Make other immigration changes sought by businesses, such as a parole-in-
place program that could affect another several hundred thousand people.
———
GREEN CARDS
Loosen eligibility requirements for a waiver program for people seeking a
green card. People who entered the U.S. illegally must leave the country for
as much as 10 years before getting in line for a green card unless they get
a waiver.
