A three-judge panel of U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled against President Barack Obama's amnesty with a late Monday decision that will probably last until after Obama leaves office on Jan. 20, 2017.<br />In November 2014, Obama ordered the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to implement a program called Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents .<br />This expanded a 2012 executive program called DACA, under which roughly 1 million foreign-born children and young adults of illegal immigrants would be given "deferred action" status, instead of being deported.<br />Out of 11.3 million illegal aliens that the government and the courts acknowledge are in the United States , 4.3 million could stay in the United States indefinitely-perhaps permanently-under the 2014 DAPA directive.
