President uses executive action to make changes on immigration
- Obama announced executive action on immigration on Thurs.
- Children born in the US to illegal immigrants gain citizenship.
- The reforms mean the parents of those kids won’t be deported.
- The reforms don’t protect anyone who immigrated after 2010.
- The reforms don’t grant citizenship or a permanent visa.
- People have to apply, pass a background check, & pay taxes.
- The program won’t start for several months.
- Executive actions can be easily undone by another president.
