Here are the five conditions an illegal immigrant must meet to qualify for deferred action, according to the Department of Homeland Security:
- Came to the United States under the age of sixteen;
- Have continuously resided in the United States for a least five
years preceding the date of this memorandum and are present in the
United States on the date of this memorandum;
- Are currently in school, have graduated from high school, have
obtained a general education development certificate, or are
honorably discharged veterans of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of
the United States;
- Have not been convicted of a felony offense, a significant
misdemeanor offense, multiple misdemeanor offenses, or otherwise
pose a threat to national security or public safety;
- Are not above the age of thirty.
As with most prospective amnesties, it's an open question whether the immigration bureaucracy will be able to meaningfully enforce these conditions.
