Immigration Policy Offers Relief for Students Facing Deportation Monday's Supreme Court ruling on Arizona's immigration law reminded us of President Obama's recent executive action that allowed hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to remain in the United States if they came as children. Many of these young men and women are currently attending college in the country. Mr. Obama's action has led to an intense debate among politicians and provided relief for many students who faced deportation. In "Obama to Permit Young Migrants to Remain in U.S.," Julia Preston and John H. Cushman write: They are Americans in their heart, in their minds, in every single way but one: on paper," President Obama said in announcing the new policy in the White House Rose Garden on Friday. The immigrants must also be not more than 30 and have clean criminal records. Do you think children of immigrants should be allowed to attend college in the United States? Do you know of anyone in that position? Let us know in the comment box below.
