The Obama administration is unveiling a fix that will make it easier for the millions of undocumented citizens in the United States to obtain a green card, the New York Times reports. Excerpt:
The change that immigration officials are offering would benefit United States citizens who are married to or have children who are illegal immigrants. It would correct a bureaucratic Catch-22 that those Americans now confront when their spouses or children apply to become legal permanent residents.
Governor Jerry Brown introduced his new budget, and unless his half-cent sales tax increase is passed by voters, California schools would see $4.8 billion in funding slashed. If both of Brown’s proposed tax hikes pass, the Los Angeles Times reports that they would knock off half of California’s $9.2 billion deficit; the rest would be eliminated through cuts to other social programs.
