If they step forward. they have to pay a filing fee for us to process their application. and they have to submit themselves to a criminal and national security background check. We dont want anybody in this country who is a danger to America. If they flunk that part of the test. they are finished and deported. And then they have to put their names on the books to pay their taxes in the United States of America while they are working. Under those circumstances. we will give them the temporary renewable right to stay and work without fear of deportation. and then several years later repeat it. submit an application again. The President believes. and I share the belief. we will be a safer nation if we do that. There could be as many as 11 million undocumented people in this country who would qualify for what we call DAPA. They would have to pay a fee. pay their taxes. go through this background check. and be subject to renewal on a regular basis. Well. today.
