What kind of criminal convictions will make someone ineligible for the "DREAM" deferred action?

QUESTION: What kind of criminal convictions will make someone ineligible for the "DREAM" deferred action?
 
 
ARI SAUER THE IMMIGRATION ANSWER MAN: There are three standards for the criminal violations that make a person ineligible:

 

1) Having a felony- Criminal offenses punishable by jail time of at least one year.

 

2) having a significant misdemeanor – A significant misdemeanor is a federal, state, or local criminal offense punishable by no more than one year of imprisonment or even no imprisonment that involves: violence, threats, or assault, including domestic violence; sexual abuse or exploitation; burglary, larceny, or fraud; driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs; obstruction of justice or bribery; unlawful flight from arrest, prosecution, or the scene of an accident; unlawful possession or use of a firearm; drug distribution or trafficking; or unlawful possession of drugs.

 
 
Please note that one DUI conviction or one conviction for fleeing arrest or fleeing the scene of an accident will make a person inelligible for this benefit under this rule,

 

Or

 

3) Three or more misdemeanors (including traffic violations defined as misdemeanors by the State) not occurring on the same date and not arising out of the same act. Whether something is a misdemeanor or not is determined by State law.
 
Also, the benefit will be denied to anyone who is deemed a national security or public safety threat.
