BREAKING NEWS: DHS TO OFFER DREAMERS DEFERRED ACTION

v  On June 15, 2012 the Department of Homeland Security formally announced that it will offer deferred action to "DREAMers." For all the promising undocumented youth who call America home this represents the opportunity to come out of the shadows and fully embrace the only country they know.

v  This action by the Department of Homeland Security stops the unjust deportation of promising youth.

v  Deferred action is not amnesty. Deferred action is not immunity. Deferred action is not permanent.

v  Deferred action is not a pathway to a green card or citizenship.

v  Deferred action is not legal status. Youth that qualify cannot vote or petition for family members.

v  Under current law people granted deferred action are eligible to apply for work authorization for two (2) year terms.

v  You may be eligible if you:

Ø  Have come to the United States under the age of sixteen (16);

Ø  Have continuously resided in the United States for at least five years preceding June 15, 2012 and are present in the United States on June 15, 2012;

Ø  Currently be 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;

Ø  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;
