Date
News Item Content
<p>On November 20, 2014, President Obama announced he would take Executive Action on immigration that includes several provisions, including a policy that will provide temporary relief from deportation and work authorization for approximately 3.9 million undocumented immigrants for up to three years. In his speech to the nation the President explained that although the U.S. Senate had passed a bi-partisan comprehensive immigration reform bill in June 2013, because the U.S. House of Representatives refused to even bring the bill up for a vote, he felt compelled to act to “help make our immigration system more fair and more just.” </p>
<p>The parents of U.S. citizen children will be the main beneficiaries of this Executive Action. In a case-by-case review of their applications, parents must prove they have lived in the U.S. for five years, pass a stringent background check, come up to date on any back taxes, and pay a hefty fee to cover the costs of the program ($465/application).[1] </p>
