Atlanta (CNN) -- Daniel Guadalupe stared at the passport application in front of him, dumbfounded. His problem was not the questions asked, but the language they were written in. "I don't speak Spanish very well," he said as he struggled to fill out the Mexican government form. "I'll have to call my mom." The 18-year-old is one of more than a million people that U.S. officials estimate could benefit from the Obama administration's deferred deportation program aimed at illegal immigrants younger than 30 who came to the United States before the age of 16. Details about how immigrants can apply for the program, which administration officials announced last month, have not been released. But already young people are flooding Mexican consular offices around the United States, trying to get the citizenship documents they'll need from their home country in order to ask for a reprieve from U.S. immigration officials.
