Obama Immigration Reform 2014

Obama Immigration Reform 2014

On November 20, 2014, President Obama announced significant changes to immigration policy here in the United States. At the heart of these changes, millions of undocumented workers and illegal immigrants facing deportation will be protected from immediate actions taken against them. A system that’s been broken for decades now, immigration policy in this country is undergoing sweeping reform, which leaves the average person asking what it all means and how it will directly impact their lives and the lives of their families.

Per the most recent executive actions put forth by the White House, immigration policy will be impacted in a variety of ways, including:

  • Modifying requirements, resulting in a greater number of people being eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program…individuals coming to the U.S. prior to their 16th birthday and who have been here since 1/1/2010 will have DACA and work authorization increased from two years to three years
  • Allowing parents of U.S. citizens and permanent residents who have been in the country since 1/1/2010 to request a deferment in action taken against them, as well as employment authorization for three years (provided they pass background checks) as part of a new Deferred Action for Parental Accountability program
  • Expanding use of provisional waivers of unlawful presence to include spouses and children of permanent residents as well as the children of U.S. citizens
