[full-text, 3 pages--with extensive links]
On November 20, President Obama announced the commencement of a multi-pronged immigration
initiative that could, among other things, enable a substantial portion of the unlawfully present alien
population to obtain temporary relief from removal and work authorization. The new initiative also involves
other actions, including narrowing the scope of aliens prioritized by federal immigration authorities for
removal; using “parole” authority to allow certain aliens to enter or remain in the United States; and
modifying rules relating to visa eligibility (or processing). This Sidebar provides a brief overview of the
major components of the announced initiative. A CRS Report providing more extensive analysis is in
preparation.
