Local Immigration Attorney Advises 'What Comes Next' After Executive Action

Obama
BLOOMBERG

Tonight President Obama will announce executive actions he will take on immigration. He is expected to offer deportation protection and work visas for millions of people in the country illegally, but it is unclear just how many people would be covered by the action.

Whatever that number is, tomorrow many of them will be asking “Ok, so what do I do now?”

For those answers, we spoke with Shahrzad Allen—an Immigration attorney in Dayton (Pickrel Schaeffer & Ebeling). Allen specializes in Immigration and Naturalization law. Our conversation starts with a look back at action on Immigration the President took two years ago.
