The president’s executive action will shield undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens from deportation, allow them to obtain work authorization, as well as ease their path to permanent resident status, the three sources told PBS News. The announcement will be made at a White House event marking the 12th anniversary of an Obama-era action that protected undocumented youth brought to the U.S. as children from deportation.
The executive action will also make it easier for some undocumented migrants brought to the U.S. as children, also known as “Dreamers,” to receive work visas, according to the sources briefed by the White House. Dreamers would qualify if they have earned a degree from a U.S. college or university and have received a high-skilled job offer.
Permanent residency is permanent. That’s the point. You get a two-year “conditional” permanent residency and then it’s extremely hard to revoke that status.
Exactly. Unless you are convicted of a serious crime or fraud, etc. your status cannot be revoked.
Yeah, but good luck getting a green card or a chance at naturalization.
And two years is a long time to be exploited, if that’s something they have to endure.
