WASHINGTON – With the Obama administration considering a range of executive actions to extend new protection to some of the estimated 11.7 million unauthorized immigrants in the United States, the Migration Policy Institute on Thursday, September 4 will discuss new estimates of the size of different populations that could benefit from deferred action or revised immigration enforcement policies.
A new MPI issue brief, Executive Action for Unauthorized Immigrants: Estimates of the Populations that Could Receive Relief, uses U.S. Census Bureau and Department of Homeland Security data to provide detailed estimates for some of the leading executive action scenarios being discussed by immigrant-rights advocates, members of Congress and others. The brief finds that adjustments to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program could expand the eligible population by a few tens of thousands or as many as 1.9 million. It also provides estimates for populations potentially under consideration for deferred action, such as parents or spouses of U.S. citizens or based on length of U.S. residence. The brief reviews how changes to current immigration enforcement priorities would have affected past deportation totals. Join the researchers as they discuss their findings.
