How Obama defended four million illegal migrants: Vox

US President Barack Obama on November 20 spoke about an unprecedented program for protecting illegal migrants from deportation. According to Obama’s decision, 4.3 million illegal immigrants - mostly parents of children who have received US citizenship by birth right - will be able to live in a country without fear of expulsion to their homeland. VOX understands what the new initiative of Obama means, and why Republicans criticized him.

The program applies only to migrants living in the United States illegally since at least 2009. Their children should be US citizens or the owners of Green Cart (a residence permit in the country)-only then does protection against deportation work. Illegal migrants will not be able to get citizenship - only a guarantee from expulsion from the country for a period of three years and permission to work for the same period; Then the permission will have to be extended.

Obama accepted the defense program from deportation bypassing the legislative bodies - this is the right to have the right to have the right, VOX explains, but earlier not a single head of state used it in such a volume. Obama’s decision caused a violent criticism from the Republicans, who traditionally oppose illegal immigrants and migration laws. But right now they can’t do anything with him. However, the next president, who will take the place of Obama in 2017, will be able to cancel this program - moreover, VOX emphasizes, the new US leader will have a list of those who asked for protection from deportation, which is easy to calculate migrants.

In total, there are about 11 million illegal migrants living in the country under the threat of deportation.

When it comes to immigration, the executive branch has extensive powers to decide who to deport and who is not. Even conservative experts from Federalist Society admit that Obama has all the powers to take such measures.
