Of the 11.2 million undocumented immigrants in the United States, 3.8 million will now be eligible for protection from deportation through President Obama's new executive order. Just under half of all undocumented immigrants are now protected in some way. 6 million more, however, will remain ineligible to legally remain in the country.
