WASHINGTON—The White House is considering two central requirements in deciding which of the nation’s 11 million illegal immigrants would gain protections through an expected executive action: a minimum length of time in the U.S., and a person’s family ties to others in the country, said people familiar with the administration’s thinking.
Those requirements, depending on how broadly they are drawn, could offer protection to between one million and four million people in the country illegally.
The deliberations follow President Barack Obama ’s promise to act to change the immigration system, after legislation overhauling immigration law died in Congress.
Republicans have protested that Mr. Obama would overstep his authority by acting alone. Several Democratic candidates in tight races also have complained, and last month the president canceled plans to announce the changes before the election.
Mr. Obama, who has been criticized by immigrant-rights advocates for the delay, wants to grant new protections—such as safe harbor from deportation and work permits—to many people who are in the U.S. illegally but have significant ties to the country, said three people familiar with White House thinking.
Such protections would be temporary since the president lacks authority to give people permanent legal status.

We can’t be rid of this impostor soon enough.
lol “may”?
Yeah, so we can get Hildabeast?
Should read “May cut deportations further...” Looks like he has cut them pretty well already.
That would be bad. But, on the other hand, will the GOP offer us Romney and Jeb?
In other words, reward the illegal aliens who have violated the law for the longest time?
How do you reduce it from Zero?
“...and increase importations of third world parasites who vote democrat.”
11M. Yeah, sure. I’ve been hearing that number for at least 10 years. Try 33-40M.
So the Kenyan is going to go from ZERO deportations to what?
An OPPORTUNITY as vast as Alaska.
The first potential POTUS candidate to announce that they will overturn these orders on their first day...PLUS use all information gathered to enforce existing law...will win in a LANDSLIDE.
There won't be any immigrants signing up for those BS papers any time soon.
Like anyone is going to tell the king he lacks authority, and if someone did, he wouldn’t hear it.
33 to 40 million who get to bring in 5 or 6 relatives each; that should allow half to two-thirds of Mexico and Central America to colonize the USA all the while being given special rights as super citizens above white America while they pay for it all.
Do nothing Obama wants to do even more nothing
