They are a lot less attractive, the more you read the details. While they're certainly an improvement, for the most part they are temporary in nature, and don't address the fundamental problems with immigration in the US. Which, TBH, needs to originate in the legislative branch.
- Expands those eligible for the existing DACA program, for children under 16 that came here before 2010. Extends the period from 2 to 3 years.
- Allows parents of legal immigrants to request deferment for 3 years.
- Provisional waivers for sons & daughters of citizens and lawful residents are expanded
- Lets applicants for naturalization use their credit cards to pay their fees
