EXECUTIVE ACTION ON IMMIGRATION COULD HAPPEN AS SOON AS THIS WEEK

NOVEMBER 17, 2014
EXECUTIVE ACTION ON IMMIGRATION COULD HAPPEN AS SOON AS THIS WEEK
While nothing has been confirmed, President Obama has indicated that he intends to announce a broad overhaul of the current immigration enforcement system by the end of this year. He may take executive action as soon as this coming week to help up to five million unauthorized immigrants. Sources indicate that his plan would help undocumented parents of children who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents by giving them authorization to work legally and protecting them from deportation, which would relieve many families’ fears of being separated.

Please keep checking our Facebook page and Twitter feed for updates on any White House announcements, further details of the plan, and any public information events that we will host.
