Here are the five conditions an illegal immigrant must meet to qualify for deferred action, according to the Department of Homeland Security:

1. Came to the United States under the age of sixteen;
2. 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;
3. 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;
4. 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;
5. 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.
