Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children will be allowed to remain in the country without fear of deportation and able to work, under an executive action the Obama administration announced on Friday, reported The New York Times.
Administration officials said the president used existing legal authority to make the broad policy change, which could temporarily benefit more than 800,000 young people.
The policy, while not granting any permanent legal status, clears the way for young illegal immigrants to come out of the shadows, work legally and obtain driver’s licenses and many other documents they have lacked.

In this month’s column, usually written by Executive Director John Frey, the Center for Dairy Excellence invited summer intern Rebecca Shaw to share what she learned during a recent visit to the Marcho Farms facility.
The operation is based in Franconia, Pennsylvania, and processes more than 1,500 veal calves a week. Center staff visited the facility with the intention of learning more about the veal industry and the connection between the veal and dairy industries.
