The U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether to allow some undocumented immigrants to stay for a limited period and apply to work legally. The Court’s decision will affect only undocumented immigrants who meet three criteria: those who have not been found guilty of a crime; those who have been in the U.S. for the past five years or more; and those who have a child who was born here or lives here legally. About 4 million undocumented immigrants meet those criteria. The Supreme Court will announce its decision this summer, probably in June. The case revolves around a program called DAPA. It stands for “Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents.” President Barack Obama approved the program two years ago. One of the goals of the program was to keep families together. It also aimed to bring more people into legal work. People who support DAPA say the program can greatly reduce the fear undocumented immigrants feel.
