Through executive action, President Obama could provide citizenship eligibility for 3.9 million unauthorized immigrants. A recent Pew analysis found that the executive action benefits parents of US born children the most. What's more, 44% of unauthorized immigrants from Mexico could apply for deportation protection under the new regulations following the executive order.
