Obama Administration Announces Change in Immigration Policy

The Takeaway

The Obama Administration has announced a dramatic shift in its immigration policy.  The Department of Homeland Security announced it will focus on deporting undocumented immigrants with criminal records or pose a threat to national security. Those without criminal records will be allowed to apply for a work permit.  The move marks a shift for the Administration, which has drawn criticism from immigration rights advocates for the record-number of deportations that have occurred since the president took office.
