Current Immigration News
President Obama announced plans on Monday June 30, 2014 for Executive Action on immigration.
This is good news for immigration reform because it implies that he has decided to handle some immigration issues without the help of the republican controlled congress. He is expected to come out with proposals by the end of summer. Since there’s no outline of who may benefit from these proposals, no one knows what the eligibility requirements are.
This site will continue to provide updates on this matter

New York City ID Cards
The New York City Identification bill was passed on June 26, 2014 by the City Council. The program will allow any New Yorker, regardless of immigration status, to get a government-issued photo identification card from the City.
Even though the legislation has passed, applications for these Municipal ID cards will not be available until January 2015. You should not attempt to buy or get a Municipal ID card before they are issued by the City.

Immigration Reform
The Senate Bill has seen no action and the likelihood that the Republican House may act on it, without significant political pressure, seems unlikely.
Frustrated Immigration Reform advocates have recalibrated and directed their efforts towards the President. They hope to compel some form of executive action by the Obama administration-one that could offer undocumented immigrants some form of relief, similar to DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), which currently offers temporary immigration relief to those who came to the United States before the age of 16 and were not older than 31 as of June 15, 2012.
Jeh Johnson, the Homeland Security Secretary, recently met with the Hispanic and Asian Caucus and has promised action on review in some deportation cases. Proposals from that review are expected soon. Hopefully, his action may reduce the deportation of persons who may otherwise benefit from future reform.
Immigration advocates also hope that President Obama will take executive action shortly that will benefit the immigrant community.
