Unscrupulous Immigration Attorneys May Be Targeting Latinos
Leaders of state Latino advocacy groups say they are hearing testimonials from immigrants that lawyers are unscrupulously cashing in on a recent temporary change in immigration policy that relaxes rules for immigrants brought to the country illegally.
President Obama announced recently that illegal immigrants under the age of 30 will be immune from deportation if they were brought to the United States before they turned 16, have been in the country for at least five consecutive years, have no criminal history, graduated from a U.S. high school, earned a GED, or served in the military. They can also apply for a work permit that will be good for two years, with unlimited renewal.
